Defender Younes Kaboul has edged closer to the exit door at Tottenham Hotspur after suggesting he would be keen on a move to Portsmouth.

The 22-year-old Frenchman has been overlooked for the first team since the arrival of Juande Ramos in October.

He also risked further upsetting the Spanish coach after questioning his influence on the club in an outburst earlier this month.

Kaboul, who only arrived at White Hart Lane last summer from Auxerre, is behind the likes of Jonathan Woodgate, Michael Dawson and Ledley King in the pecking order and has welcomed reported interest from Pompey.

"They may be the club showing the biggest determination to secure my services. We will see," he claimed.

"I do not know yet, we will see during the transfer window.

"For the moment, some clubs contacted me, but there are no concrete offers yet.

"All I know is that I have three years remaining on my contract and that I have to play.

"I am 22 and cannot stay on the bench and sometimes stay at home. I am a competitor before everything.

"When you arrive in the Premier League, it is hard to leave it. Personally, this league suits me a lot. I do not want to change atmosphere."
