Report: Younes Kaboul emerges as Roma transfer target

Roma have reportedly shown an interest in signing Tottenham Hotspur defender Younes Kaboul.

The 29-year-old has struggled to hold down a place in the Spurs starting lineup this campaign despite being named as club captain, failing to make a single appearance in the Premier League since November.

Reports in Italy claim that Serie A title challengers Roma are keen to bring the Frenchman to the Stadio Olimpico on loan before the transfer window closes this evening, with a view to a permanent deal at the end of the season.

Kaboul, who has also been linked with a move to Besiktas in the past, is said to be one of two targets for Rudi Garcia alongside Lille's Rio Mavuba.
