The Tottenham Hotspur player is looking good for his country as well as his loan club this season
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Nabil Bentaleb is enjoying a fine spell in front of goal for his loan club Schalke, and now the 21-year-old has taken that form into the international arena.
Bentaleb scored Algeria’s goal in a 3-1 defeat to Nigeria on Saturday, and while it proved to be a mere consolation, it continued the payer’s upturn in form.
The midfielder had fallen down the pecking order at White Hart Lane and was subsequently shipped out on loan, but despite initially struggling in Germany he now appears to be in the form of his life.
Bentaleb has found the net four times in his last four league games for Schalke so his strike for his country makes it five in five.
That is a superb return for a player not known for his ability in front of goal and gives Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino much to think about before potentially waving goodb bye to the player for good next summer.
