Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank says the club are not interested in signing players who are not fully committed to them.
Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze, is set to join rivals Arsenal in a £67.5m deal, having been poised for a switch to Spurs earlier in the week.
Frank’s side had been confident of landing the 27-year-old, but Palace wanted Eze to remain at the club until after Thursday’s Europa Conference League match against Fredrikstad.
However, the England international was then left out of Palace’s 1-0 home win against the Norwegian club after his boyhood club Arsenal agreed terms.
It is the second blow Spurs have suffered this summer, with Morgan Gibbs-White opting to sign a new contract at Nottingham Forest after Tottenham had activated a release clause in his previous deal.
“In general I don’t want any players that don’t want to come to this club and wear this fantastic badge,” said Frank.
“We don’t want them here and I’m sure the fans feel the same.”
