Younes Kaboul has been named as Tottenham's new captain.
The Frenchman has already led the side this season and has been selected by manager Mauricio Pochettino as the permanent successor to Michael Dawson, who joined Hull City last month.
Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and striker Emmanuel Adebayor will both act as vice-captains.
A post on the club's official Twitter feed read: "Mauricio has announced that Younes Kaboul has been named our new club captain with Hugo Lloris and Emmanuel Adebayor as vice-captains."
The 28-year-old Kaboul joined the club for a second time from Portsmouth in January 2010 and has made 131 appearances in his two spells in north London.
