It's a reasonable bet Spurs don't want to lose this lad and they'll do everything they can to keep him short of guaranteeing him first team football. If they refuse a bid or push too hard he'll walk at the end of his contract. Pure speculation on my part but selecting him the other day could be one way of telling him he's still their player and they want to keep him. It's possible he'd prefer to stay so he could be "negotiating" with both parties, using our interest to secure a better deal, promises of some first team involvement? Or it could be a right load of bollocks from first to last.
