OTTENHAM boss Martin Jol will be the Premiership's big spender
again this summer after lining up a £20million treble swoop.
The Spurs manager has agreed a £7.5m deal for Auxerre defender
Younes Kaboul, 21, who will join at the end of the season.
Dutchman Jol is also hopeful of landing Southampton's teenage
left-back Gareth Bale, 17, in a £9m swoop even though they face
competition from Manchester United and Arsenal.

In addition, Jol is tracking Hertha Berlin midfielder Kevin-Prince
Boateng, 20, who could go for £3.5m, and looking at Toulouse
forward Johan Elmander. Targets also include Charlton's Darren Bent
and West Ham's Nigel Reo-Coker.
It will be another busy close-season for Jol even if Spurs are
adamant they will not sell star striker Dimitar Berbatov despite
interest from Chelsea and Manchester United.
Berbatov's agent Emil Dantchev stressed yesterday that he believes
the Bulgarian striker will stay put. Dantchev said: "I believe he
will be at Tottenham next season."
Jol spent more than £30m last summer with Berbatov his biggest deal
in a £10.9m switch from Bayer Leverkusen. And, despite Tottenham's
failure to break into the Champions League places, chairman Daniel
Levy will back him again in the transfer market.
