Tottenham Hotspur youngster Nabil Bentaleb eager to improve this season

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Nabil Bentaleb has revealed that he is eager to improve this season under new manager Mauricio Pochettino.

The 19-year-old broke into the Spurs first team last term before going on to feature for Algeria at the World Cup.

Bentaleb now hopes that he becomes a regular starter at White Hart Lane during the 2014-15 campaign.

"If people think I am still that little kid, then that's up to them, but I have been to the World Cup and I am looking forward to improving even more at Tottenham under the new manager," he told The Sun.

"This time last year I could never have dreamed I would go to the World Cup. Now I want to keep improving at Tottenham and be a regular starter."

Spurs start the new Premier League season on August 16 when they make the trip to London rivals West Ham United.
