EPL: Top 10 smartest transfers of the close season

After a summer of big spending, these are the new signings most likely to succeed in the Premier League.

Younes Kaboul
, 21, Tottenham Hotspur
£8m from Auxerre

Martin Jol could find himself reliant on a France Under-21 captain entering his debut season in England. Tottenham have toiled without Ledley King and he is again missing. A fragile team needs another imposing centre-half if it is to contend for a Champions League spot.

The prospect of Kaboul getting early chances at White Hart Lane is pleasing for many French observers who think he will be in contention for a role at Euro 2008 if the former Auxerre player gets enough Premier League experience. Spurs, paying £8m for him, have expressed their faith in the defender.

Thanks for featuring Kaboul. He's sure to fail now.
