Younes Kaboul has admitted that he is happy at Tottenham despite widespread criticism over his performances for the London club since his summer £8 million move from Auxerre.

"I do not understand these rumours. Let's be clear, I feel great at Tottenham and I still want to give my best for this team," Kaboul told the Evening Standard.

"If you look at my stats, I have played approximately 30 games. That is not bad for a 22-year-old foreign player who is at such a club.

"It is up to me to continue to work. Every time a new coach arrives, you have to work to make yourself look indispensable. I have to do all I can to impose myself.

"Generally for a player who discovers a new league, the first year is considered an adaptation season. I am lucky that has not been the case.

"It is a bit early, but I am quite satisfied with the first part of the season. I know how far I can go. I can still improve a lot."
