Redknapp in awe of Tottenham youngster Bentaleb

Former Tottenham star Jamie Redknapp is in awe of youngster Nabil Bentaleb.

Writing in the Daily Mail, Redknapp declared: "People say anybody can make five-yard passes, but if they think that's easy, they are kidding themselves. For a teenager to come in and play the way he has is unbelievable.

"Tim Sherwood knows him from the youth set-up and he certainly knows a thing or two about playing in midfield.

"But Bentaleb's ability belies his age. He is confident and plays with a nice arrogance, as if he's saying: 'Here I am, give me the ball.' It was a brave decision to blood the youngster, but it looks like one that will pay off."
