Tabanou ready to sign

Toulouse starlet Franck Tabanou has told skysports that he is ready to sign a new contract.

The midfield prospect has been earning plaudits all season and a number of clubs are tracking him.

West Ham were known admirers, whilst more recently Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea are also reported to have made enquiries with the Pink City club.

But Tabanou is more than happy with life in the South of France and he is ready to sign a three-and-half-year deal.

"There is not much to do, I am flattered by interest from Premier League, but to be honest I am still young and I will sign till 2013," Tabanou told skysports.com.

"Toulouse will give me a chance to perform at the top level and to learn more before one day I move to a bigger league with a top club.

"It is a dream to play for a top club for any footballer."
