I think TG is a good defender and we need to keep him

If we were to play tomorrow it would be Daws & TG to start, if Daws is still injured it would be TG & RR

Tottenham appear to be moving closer towards signing France Under-21 defender Younes Kaboul from Auxerre.

Spurs manager Martin Jol has already signed left-back Gareth Bale for £10 million from Southampton but wants to bolster his numbers in defence.

Auxerre vice-chairman Gerard Bourgoin said: "The negotiations are very advanced."

Kaboul, 21, has impressed in the French top flight and is valued at about £8 million. Jol also has his captain, Ledley King, recovering from knee surgery.

"The discussions are very serious with Tottenham but there are still a number of details to finalise," added Bourgoin on skysports.com. "But we can remain optimistic about the end of the negotiations."

Jol is expected to strengthen further this summer and has targeted a left midfielder, while also being strongly linked with Charlton striker Darren Bent.

Charlton, however, have warned Spurs and other interested clubs that they will unable to buy the England striker cheaply.

West Ham had a £17 million bid for Bent accepted by relegated Charlton last week, but the 23-year-old rejected a switch to Upton Park in the hope of moving to White Hart Lane or Liverpool.

Charlton chief executive Peter Varney insists they will not be forced into accepting a lower bid for their prized asset and will play him in the Coca-Cola Championship if necessary.
