Tottenham Hotspur only want a permanent sale of Nabil Bentaleb, according to reports.

The Daily Mail is of the belief that Spurs are willing to offload the Algerian midfielder this summer but only if any interested clubs are willing to meet their £12million asking price.

Italian outfit Lazio and Portuguese giants Benfica are believed to be keen on Bentaleb but only in regards to a loan deal which Mauricio Pochettino does not want.

Bentaleb, 21, is way down the midfield pecking order at White Hart Lane and has been deemed surplus to requirements in North London.
