Tottenham Hotspur captain Younes Kaboul could make a surprise move to rivals West Ham United in a £2.5million deal, according to the Guardian.

The centre-back, 29, has been displaced by Jan Vertonghen, Federico Fazio and England Under-21 international Eric Dier and Spurs are looking to cut a deal.

The French international has not made a league start since early November after a string of costly errors and could act as defensive cover for the Hammers’ ailing defence.

Kaboul, who has also been linked with Roma and Besiktas, could join teammate Emmanuel Adebayor at Upton Park after the striker was linked with a loan switch.
