The Tottenham squad is out for their pre-season games, while the manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has left some of his youngsters in England itself, and that only means one thing; the players are no longer in the plans of the manager. The very first game they played was against Juventus, but unfortunately, they lost the game.
Now, coming on to the point, the manager left out Clinton N’Jie and Nabil Bentaleb for the International Champions Cup, hence it is now understood that the players might be sold or will be loaned out. Besides these two, the manager has also omitted Federico Fazio, Alex Pritchard and Grant Ward.
Nabil Bentaleb, signed a five year deal with the club last summer played just 11 times for Spurs last season and did not feature, after February because of continued injury problems and now with the arrival of Victor Wanyama, it is clear that the Algerian will have to find a way out of the club. So, here we give you three perfect destination for Nabil Bentaleb:
-
Benfica-
Bentaleb, who joined the academy of Lilly Whites back in 2012, was a consistent performer for the side in the 2014-15 season, where he made 35 appearances for the club, but sadly due to the excessive injury problems, he was sidelined.
Now, according to the recent reports from the Portuguese sports newspaper Record, Tottenham Hotspur are open to send Nabil Bentaleb on loan to the Portuguese side Benfica for the next season, but why not make it a permanent deal. Tottenham’s existing midfield is still young, hence Bentaleb won’t be getting regular game time after completing his loan unless he turns out to be exceptionally good. With Renato Sanches joining Bayern Munich, Bentaleb could be the perfect man to fill the void of the Portuguese.
-
Napoli-
According to the recent reports from Daily mail, the Italian side Napoli have expressed their desire to sign the 21-year-old Algerian and to be very honest here, this could be his real break in his footballing career so far.
We think that in this list of three, Napoli would be the best option for the youngster. The Italians will be challenging in the Champions League, hence, their manager, Maurizio Sarri, will be looking to rotate the lineup and the Algerian might get to play some useful minutes in Europe apart from appearing in the cup ties.
-
Crystal Palace-
If the player himself wants to stay in England and play in the Premier League, the Eagles would be a perfect destination for him. According to recent reports, Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew is expected to bolster his squad for next season, hence, he will look forward to adding some fresh recruits to the squad. Having already signed Andros Townsend, Mandanda and James Tomkins, Pardew will still be looking to add a couple of names, in order to survive in the Premier League next season.
Palace somehow survived relegation last season, hence, to avoid that in the future, a player like Bentaleb might play an important role.
