Within the last hour Spurs have announced the departure of midfielder Nabil Bentaleb who has joined Schalke 04 on a season long loan ahead of a potential £17 million pounds permanent move to the Bundesliga club. It’s sad to see Nabil leave Spurs as he had really impressed following his promotion from the academy in 2013 however, last season Bentaleb barely featured for Pochettino’s side and fell down the pecking order. The Algerian international is undoubtedly a talented player who made many excellent performances for Spurs netting one goal for the Lillywhites. The 21 year old has a big future in the game and I wish Nabil all the very best at his new club.
