Kanoute back in Spurs fold

Frederic Kanoute is back in the Tottenham squad for Sunday’s visit of Leicester in the Premiership after returning from African Nations Cup duty with Mali.

However, the striker will almost certainly have to be content with a place on the bench after new signing Jermain Defoe – his former West Ham colleague - scored in each of his first two games and will continue alongside Robbie Keane.
