Spurs to block out-of-favour Capoue's move to Napoli but Benitez still wants midfielders



Tottenham are ready to pull the plug on Etienne Capoue’s proposed move to Napoli.



Spurs only signed Capoue from Toulouse six months ago in a £9million deal, but has made just 13 appearances for the club.

Napoli manager Rafael Benitez was looking to sign a midfielder with his side ten points behind Serie A leaders Juventus, with Frenchman Capoue still one of his top targets.

Someone who could be on his way in to White Hart Lane, however, is Salomon Kalou.



Tottenham are for talks over a £2.6m deal for the former Chelsea forward.



The Ivory Coast international is ready to move back to the Premier League from Lille after Spurs boss Tim Sherwood declared his interest in the striker. Kalou is expected to hold talks in London on Friday.
