Sunderland are interested in Tottenham defender Younes Kaboul.

The London Evening Standard says Sunderland have joined Galatasaray in the race to sign Kaboul.

The France international has just a year left on his contract, but Spurs are looking for around £5m for his signature.

Galatasaray have already expressed an interest having also held talks with Spurs over Vlad Chiriches, while Sunderland are looking elsewhere for defensive recruits after a move for Zenit St Petersburg defender Nicolas Lombaerts collapsed.
