Euro club will bid for Tottenham midfielder if move for Mexico ace fails
NAPOLI are considering turning to Nabil Bentaleb as an alternative to Mexican midfielder Hector Herrera, according to reports.

Bentaleb broke into the Tottenham first team under Tim Sherwood in 2014, having been signed two years previously from French side Dunkerque as an 18-year-old.
However, the Algeria international has barely featured under Mauricio Pochettino with only two Premier League starts last season.
