​Bentancur excited to give '150 per cent' for Tottenham manager Conte

New Tottenham signing Rodrigo Bentancur is ready to give everything for the club and manager Antonio Conte.

The 24-year-old is presently with Uruguay on international duty, but will be arriving at spurs on Thursday.

Bentancur has to wait for a work permit before he can begin training with the team, but he is raring to go after his January move from Juventus.

"I would say I'm a very tactical player who covers free spaces, does well when winning the ball back and moves it forward quickly," Bentancur told Tottenham's official website.

"I also think I have scope to improve even more and I can do so as part of this team at Spurs.

"I am looking forward to learning from Antonio Conte – I think he's a great coach, he wants to win and gets 150 per cent out of his players. I think he'll make me improve even more, both mentally and as a player. I like that, and it's a big motivation for me."
