Tottenham boss Martin Jol admits after spending £40 million this summer his team is unlikely to change much.
"Bale is very young at 18, Kaboul is playing like a 25-year-old but he's still 21, Boateng is 20 and even Darren Bent is very young at 23. I feel they are very good players but young, so that is a very good thing for the club."
Younes Kaboul will find himself under close scrutiny at a highly-charged Stadium of Light against Sunderland and is likely to be targeted early. Jol, however, is unconcerned.
"We've warned him what to expect and until now [in pre-season], he's doing very well," he said. "He's strong, he's quick, he's good in the air. He's a very good asset. We have to wait and see but I feel there's no problem."
