Stricken Portsmouth desperate to off load Younes Kaboul to Spurs

Stricken Portsmouth were today hoping that interest from the club's former manager Harry Redknapp in taking Younes Kaboul back to White Hart Lane would solidify into a £10m offer. The complicated deal would be offset by £2m still owed by Portsmouth on the £4m deal that took the player to Fratton Park in 2008 and a £1.5m sell-on clause, but could still make a material difference to efforts to lift the transfer ban imposed on the club by the Premier League. The ban will not be lifted until the Premier League is certain that Portsmouth have reached agreement with Udinese, who have reported the south coast club t o the Court of Arbitration for Sport over a missing payment due on the purchase of Sulley Muntari in 2007. Goalkeeper David James trained with Portsmouth today as talks continued over a possible loan move to Stoke City, while Mike Williamson was finalising his move to Newcastle United. Hundreds of Portsmouth fans are tomorrow expected to march on Fratton Park ahead of their FA Cup tie with Sunderland, calling on the club's owners to "pay up or sell up".
