Danny Rose is in limbo at Tottenham.
The London Evening Standard says Rose is expected to stay at Spurs until January after failing to seal a deadline day move.
Porto showed late interest in Rose as a replacement for Alex Telles, who joined Manchester United, but it is thought the Portuguese club could not afford a deal, even on loan.
Rose has been stripped of a squad number and is not training with the first team.
He spent the second-half of last season on-loan with Newcastle United.
