Spurs boss Martin Jol has already signed left-back Gareth Bale in a £10million deal from Southampton but wants to bolster his numbers in defence after having to juggle his resources last season.

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

Kaboul, 21, has impressed in the French top flight and is valued at around £8million. Jol also has skipper Ledley King recovering from knee surgery ahead of the new season.

"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."
