Juventus are lining up a £5 million offer for Tottenham starlet Younes Kaboul, the French defender who has found his opportunities at White Hart Lane very limited and is keen to make a move elsewhere.

"For us, Martin Jol was a father-figure, whereas Ramos, it is just tactics and nothing else,” he told So Foot. "In training, we do a lot of 11 v 0 and stuff on the blackboard to work on our progress with the ball.

"Ramos has brought us that, but nothing else. What has saved us this season is the Carling Cup. People say we won the Carling Cup because Ramos arrived at the club, but that has nothing to do with him.

“He doesn't talk, with anyone. Communication doesn't exist with him. He isn't playing me? That is his choice - I respect it, I am a professional. I am young and it is the first time this has happened to me in my career.

"Ramos has not really given me a chance. When a player doesn't have the confidence of his coach, he can't do much on the pitch. But when a coach has confidence in you, you take the handbrake off and you race away."
