Sunderland boss Roy Keane wants a decision today from Tottenham pair Younes Kaboul and Steed Malbranque.

Keane said: "I would expect news on the other two Tottenham lads in the next 24 hours - whether they are coming or not. We are very hopeful but I appreciate it is a big decision for them.

"I was delighted with the four players I have spoken to from Tottenham; we've managed to get two of them sorted out and we're hoping to do the same with the other two.

"I have no problem with players taking their time but there comes a time where they have to make a decision and I think that time is going to come over the next 24 hours.

"If they come fantastic, we'll be delighted. If not, life goes on."
