Portsmouth defender Younes Kaboul has been approached by Morocco officials to represent their country.

The former Auxerre defender captained the French Under 21 side but has yet to receive a call-up to the full national squad.

Kaboul qualifies to play for the African nation as, despite being born in France, the 22-year-old has Moroccan parents.

The defender has rejected all previous Moroccan offers and is expected to do the same again as he still harbours hopes of representing France under Raymond Domenech.
