Nabil Bentaleb frustrated by talks over new deal

Nabil Bentaleb admits that contract negotiations with Tottenham Hotspur have left him frustrated.

Nabil Bentaleb has admitted that the length of contract negotiations with Tottenham Hotspur has left him frustrated.

The Algerian has become a key figure in the Spurs midfield under Mauricio Pochettino this season, but the academy graduate has failed to come to an agreement with the club over a new deal on a number of occasions.

Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain have been linked with a move as a result, and Bentaleb claims that he is hoping to be rewarded for his fine form as soon as possible.

"I've been working really hard and it's normal for me to want to get rewarded," the 20-year-old told The Telegraph. "We've been negotiating for nearly nine months now, since September, and it's getting really long and, of course, I'm getting a little bit tired of it.

"But I still work hard. It doesn't change how hard I work. I will still be the same person. But sometimes it is annoying when you don't feel treated as you should be.

"This season was a really good season for me and I've had some interest from big clubs, from Champions League clubs. I'm really flattered."

Bentaleb, who made 35 appearances in all competitions this season, has three years remaining on his current deal.
