Steed Malbranque, Teemu Tainio and Younes Kaboul have joined Pascal Chimbonda in holding talks with Sunderland.

The Black Cats tabled bids for the Tottenham quartet earlier in the week, with Chimbonda arriving at the Stadium of Light on Saturday morning for talks over a potential transfer.

The French defender's three Spurs team-mates have now all made the same journey to meet with Sunderland boss Roy Keane.

Agent Rudy Raba had stated earlier in the week that Kaboul was not interested in a switch to Sunderland, with Portsmouth leading the chase for the 22-year-old.
