Younes Kaboul (born January 4, 1986 in France) is a professional football player who currently plays for Auxerre, and the French under 21 national team.
The imposing defender, standing at 190cm tall[1], is a regular player for Auxerre, and won the Coupe de France in 2005, as well as having European football experience in the UEFA Cup. He has been known to be the 'back bone' for Auxerre, due to his excellent tackling skills, good judgement and strength.
In November 2006, Kaboul revealed that he could be interested in a transfer to Rangers, after speaking to France under 21 team-mate and Rangers player Jeremy Clement.[2] He is also reported to be attracting interest from A.S. Roma and Inter Milan.[3] A transfer to English Premiership side Portsmouth FC has also been mooted, after their manager, Harry Redknapp, was reportedly spotted scouting the player recently.
Auxerre have already rejected a £6million offer in the January transfer window. It is hardly surprising considering Kaboul is Auxerres best prospect for the future, with the likely-hood of playing for France.
