Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is in advanced talks over the re-signing of Portsmouth defender Younes Kaboul for a fee of around £10million.
Kaboul left Spurs for Pompey back in the summer of 2008 after just a season at White Hart Lane.
The 24-year-old Frenchman has since become a key man at Fratton Park and has stood out in a struggling Pompey side this season. '
The financially-stricken south coast club are keen to cash in on one of their prized assets, although it is believed Pompey still owe Spurs £2million from the original move.
"We're keen to bring him back if the deal is good for everybody," said Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp, who was Portsmouth manager when they signed Kaboul.
Spurs have also opened talks over signing Pompey goalkeeper Asmir Begovic, another player Redknapp brought to Fratton Park. T
he Tottenham boss also confirmed that Premier League rivals Birmingham were in talks over want-away Russian striker Roman Pavlyuchenko.
Spurs have sealed the loan signing of Eidur Gudjohnsen until the end of the season, boosting a strike force which also features Jermain Defoe, Robbie Keane and Peter Crouch, yet Redknapp is still reluctant to let Pavlyuchenko go.
"We're not keen to sell him," he added. "We're happy with him. Technically he's a terrific player."
