Chelsea and Liverpool were reportedly keen on the 18-year-old in the summer and have been keeping tabs on his progress this season.
But after impressing seven senior appearances this term, Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is hoping to tie him down to a new long-term deal.
According to The Mirror, Spurs have offered the England Under-19 international a contract to remain at White Hart Lane until the summer of 2020.
Onomah has featured in the Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League this season, and Pochettino has been full of praise for the Spurs academy product.
"He is a special boy, a special player, because of his talent, his potential and his body," Pochettino said.

"His body is powerful and he has quality in his feet. I don't know how he will develop. Sometimes you get an instinct about a player but I prefer to keep that inside.
"Football is always about input and feeling and sometimes you don't know why but you think this guy can be a top player.
"Maybe it is about knowledge about football as we have been in football all our life. I think we have a lot of talent here."
