8. Nabil Bentaleb (Tottenham Hotspur
Position: Central midfielder
Premier League appearances: 9 (3)
Nabil Bentaleb has been something of a favourite under Tim Sherwood at Tottenham Hotspur, with the Frenchman coming off the bench three times early in the new manager’s reign and starting nine Premier League games since.
His performance in the 0-4 victory at Newcastle United was particularly impressive, dominating the play from the middle of the park and grabbing one assist for his side.
In a difficult season for Spurs, Bentaleb has been a real positive – even if perhaps it might better serve the White Hart Lane club if he was eased in a bit more gradually.
