Tottenham defender Younes Kaboul insists England rumours over manager Harry Redknapp are not to blame for their form collapse.

Kaboul insists Tottenham's slump and return to form had nothing to do with speculation surrounding Redknapp and England.

The 26-year-old French defender said: "We were tired, simple as that. I don't think it had anything to do with the speculation about Harry. None of us ever talked about whether we thought he would go. But now it's not happened, let's hope nothing changes."
