Kaboul is set to sign for Portsmouth

Tottenham defender Younes Kaboul is making moves to sign for Portsmouth on Monday with agreeing personal terms.

The 22-year-old will sign a four-year deal subject to passing a medical.

"We agreed personal terms on Friday and if all goes well he will sign on Monday," a Portsmouth spokesman said.

Kaboul joined Spurs for around £8m from Auxerre last July, but only made 19 Premier League starts.

Portsmouth have been looking for him since selling midfielder Sulley Muntari to Inter Milan for £12.7m.

And speaking after Sunday's Community Shield defeat by Manchester United, coach Joe Jordan said Kaboul had been earmarked to play in central defence.

Kaboul had previously been heavily linked with Sunderland, Roy Keane's side having already signed Teemu Tainio, Pascal Chimbonda and Steed Malbranque from Spurs.

But the player's agent Rudy Raba saying his client would not sign the deal.
