Tottenham midfielder Nabil Bentaleb is a transfer target for Crystal Palace, according to a report by Matt Law of The Telegraph.
The 21-year-old only made 11 appearances for Spurs last year at it seems that manager Mauricio Pochettino has deemed him surplus to requirements as he looks to build a squad capable of winning the Premier League.
The Algerian international played a lot of games for Spurs in the 2014/15 season but was used mainly in a backup role last year, playing mainly in FA Cup and Europa League ties.
He only signed a long-term contract, one that runs until 2020, back in July 2015 but Pochettino looks to have decided that he wants to move forward without the youngster.
Palace aren’t exaclty short of defensive midfield options but Bentaleb would add some more youth to the squad and would provide very good competition for starting roles in Alan Pardew’s side.
