Input: Sunderland have signed Tottenham Hotspur defender Younes Kaboul for £3million on a four-year contract. The 29-year-old passed his medical at the Academy of Light on Thursday afternoon ahead of the move being confirmed by both clubs. The transfer comes seven years after Kaboul's agent Rudy Raba extraordinarily announced: 'Younes would not join Sunderland even if there was an earthquake. We have more interesting options than Sunderland. Don't even think about it.' Kaboul was first linked with Sunderland in 2008 and becomes their third signing of the summer following the arrival of Adam Matthews from Celtic and the £8m capture of Dinamo Kiev winger Jeremain Lens.Younes Kaboul had his medical at the Academy of Light on ThursdayThe 29-year-old was in the final 12 months of his Tottenham contractKaboul hasn't made a Premier League appearance since NovemberGalatasaray were interested in Kaboul but Sunderland won the race
