Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has told Jake Livermore he must stay.
The midfielder is keen on a January loan move.
But Redknapp said: "There are a couple of Premier League clubs in for him but it is doubtful he will go in January.
"He has a part to play in the squad this season. I expect one or two will go on loan - some of the younger players have done very well in the Europa League."
