Spurs defender Younes Kaboul is expected to make a decision today on whether he will be joining Sunderland.

Black Cats boss Roy Keane has already agreed a deal with the north Londoners to sign the 22-year-old, as well as his team mates Pascal Chimbonda, Teemu Tainio and Steed Malbranque.

Kaboul's agent Rudy Raba had previously said that there was no chance Kaboul would be joining the Wearsiders, although it seems that after speaking to Keane, Kaboul may have had a change of heart.

"Younes was very impressed with Roy Keane when he met him, especially with his vision for Sunderland Football Club," said Raba.

"He was also very impressed with the city, stadium and facilities which, to be fair, are second to none.

"Younes also appreciated the fact that Roy and Sunderland have given him a couple of days to make a decision. I now expect him to make up his mind in the next 24 hours."

Kaboul endured an error-prone debut season after signing from Auxerre for £8 million last summer and looks certain to leave White Hart Lane. Aston Villa and Portsmouth are both believed to be keeping tabs on the situation.
