The 20 year old Algerian is said to be angered by the lack of a new contract, following his more prominent role in the first team this season, and this could lead to the tough tackler being tempted by a move to the Etihad Stadium side.

Bentaleb started 25 Premier League fixtures in 2014/15 and has proven a consistent defensive midfield option though he is clearly not in the same league as Pogba, so a move for the Spurs man would not really represent a fair alternative to the Juventus man.

One imagines that Man City’s interest in both Pogba and Bentaleb could be with a view to replacing veteran Yaya Toure, the Ivorian having been linked with a summer exit for some weeks now.
