West Ham United close to Younes Kaboul capture?

West Ham United are reportedly close to signing Tottenham Hotspur captain Younes Kaboul on a permanent deal.

The 29-year-old defender has fallen out of favour at White Hart Lane under Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino.

The Frenchman is said to have attracted interest from a host of clubs, including Roma and Besiktas.

According to The Independent, Kaboul will move across London to West Ham for £2.5m.

The Hammers have been linked with another centre-back in the form of Everton's Sylvain Distin.
