Tottenham defender Younes Kaboul wants a move to Portsmouth.

A source close to the player told the Portsmouth News: "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. He played all the time when he first came to Tottenham, but then the new manager came in and made things hard for him.

"He still scored four goals, though. He is still a young boy and is sure Harry is the one to get the best out of him."
