Kaboul has fallen out of favour with head coach Mauricio Pochettino in recent weeks and has struggled for playing time.
The experienced defender last started for Spurs against Beşiktaş in the Europa League group stages and has not played since.
The 28-year-old defender’s contract runs out in 2016.
Beşiktaş are currently second in the Süper Lig on 41 points and will face Liverpool in the Europa League Round of 32.
