According to Sky Italy, Fikayo Tomori wants to stay in AC Milan after advanced conversations with Tottenham.
Spurs want to add a defender before the transfer deadline from Monday 11 p.m. and the 27-year-old was one of a number of options that the club watched.
The side of Postecoglou is seriously hindered by defensive injuries during the current campaign.
Postecoglou said on Friday that Cristian Romero is still a few weeks away from a return, while fellow center-back Radu Dragusin sustained an injury in the Europa League home victory of Thursday on Elfsborg.
Bayern Munich Forward Mathys Tel has also rejected a move to Tottenham in the last 24 hours after the clubs had agreed a £ 50 million deal.
