Sunderland sign Spurs' Kaboul

Younes Kaboul has become Sunderland's fourth new signing after joining from fellow Premier League side Tottenham for an undisclosed fee.

The centre-back was deemed surplus to requirements at White Hart Lane under Mauricio Pochettino and has opted to move to the Stadium of Light on a four-year deal.

Kaboul joins Adam Matthews, Sebastian Coates and Jeremain Lens in linking up with Dick Advocaat's side ahead of the new season.

"I'm delighted to be a Sunderland player and it's an honour to join this club," the Frenchman told Sunderland's official website.

"I can't wait to start playing for the Sunderland supporters."

The 29-year-old then re-joined Spurs in 2010 after a spell at Portsmouth.
