Portsmouth are close to completing the signing of French defender Younes Kaboul. Kaboul who had been strongly linked with a move to Sunderland before his agent declared that the transfer would never happen "not even if there was an earthquake" has played 10 times for the French U-21 side. He joined Tottenham in 2007 and made just over 20 appearances for the North London side before being told this summer that he was surplus to requirements. Standing at 6ft 3in Kaboul is an imposing figure at the centre of any defence and Harry Redknapp looks to have signed him as a long term replacement for ageing Sol Campbell who turns 34 in September. Kaboul has been criticised by some who believe he manipulated the interest from Sunderland to engineer a move to a "bigger" club. Portsmouth coach Joe Jordan describes Kaboul as a "very good athlete, strong in the air, and he's quick" Kaboul will be one to watch this season as he attempts to prove himself on the Premiership stage.
