Pompey make Kaboul bid

Local radio station The Quay are reporting that Pompey manager Harry Redknapp has admitted that the Portsmouth have tabled a bid for out of favour Spurs defender Younes Kaboul. Redknapp has been a long time admirer of the former Auxerre player who joined Tottenham last summer for around £8million.

With rumours of a bid circulating all summer it looks like Portsmouth are finally making their move, although Aston Villa are also interested in the player.

Recent reports have said that Portsmouth is the defenders preferred destination with a source close to the player quoted as saying 'Younes' priority is to join Portsmouth.

'He is not interested in joining anyone else and has made that clear to Tottenham.

'He wants to play for Harry. He is the one who has made the greatest effort to sign him.

'Something is very, very close to happening. Younes doesn't want Tottenham to be unreasonable now.

'If that happens he will fight because he wants to join only Portsmouth.
'Younes feels people didn't see the best of him at Tottenham.

'But he was wanted by all the world when he was in France, and you don't become a bad player overnight.

'Harry watched him closely back then and knows what he is capable of.
