DONE DEAL: Sunderland snap up Kaboul from Tottenham

Sunderland have completed the signing of Younes Kaboul.

The French centre-back has joined the Black Cats from Tottenham on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee, believed to be around £3million.

Kaboul, 29, has spent the past five-and-a-half years with Spurs - his second spell at White Hart Lane - and departs having made over 140 appearances for the north London club.

The former Portsmouth star becomes Dick Advocaat's fourth summer signing following fellow defenders Sebastian Coates and Adam Matthews and Dutch winger Jermain Lens to the Stadoium of Light.

"I'm delighted to be a Sunderland player and it's an honour to join this club," he told the club's official website.

"I would like to thank Lee Congerton and the head coach for making this move possible and I can't wait to start playing for the Sunderland supporters."
