'An earthquake would not take him to Sunderland' - Younes agent

ONE of the four Tottenham players Sunderland have had offers accepted for has dismissed a move to the Stadium of Light.
The agent of Spurs' out-of-favour centre-back Younes Kaboul said a move to Sunderland would be a backward step for his client.
He claims a move to the north east could potentially hurt his international career and that there are other clubs that have made more interesting offers.
"Younes wouldn't join Sunderland even if there was an earthquake," Raba told setantasports.com
"We have more interesting options than Sunderland. Don't even think about it.
"I can tell you for sure that he's going to stay in England next season."
The 22-year-old former France Under-21 defender has been linked with a move to FA Cup winners Portsmouth.
And Raba added: "At Portsmouth you are more watched and for example you have France international Lassana Diarra playing there.
"Of course he would prefer to have his chance at Tottenham rather than moving to Sunderland.
"No disrespect to them, but playing there wouldn't help his international career.
"(Martin] Jol made him come over but then (Juande] Ramos replaced him and axed Younes. That kind of situation always happens at big clubs."
