Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Nabil Bentaleb is alert to the dangers posed by tonight’s opponents Swansea City, but he believes that his team have enough quality in their ranks to get all three points.

Bentaleb has become a constant presence in Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs midfield. The youngster has scored once and assisted two goals in his 23 appearances in all competitions for the Londoners this season thus far.




The north London outfit have enjoyed good domestic form of late having lost only twice in their last ten Premier League outings, a run that has seen them reach seventh in the table, only six points behind fourth placed Manchester United; Spurs have a game in hand over the Red Devils.

Swansea haven’t suffered in the absence of the prolific Wilfried Bony following his move to Manchester City in the winter transfer window and Garry Monk's side are just a spot behind Spurs in the league. Bentaleb is well aware of the strength of the Welsh outfit.
 


“We know Swansea have quality players”, he was quoted as saying by the club site.

“They have good individuals and they can be very dangerous to any team, but we have to stay focused, remain strong, play our football and hopefully everything will go right for us.”

Swans talisman Gylfi Sigurdsson and their defender Kyle Naughton were formerly at White Hart Lane and having seen the duo first hand, the Tottenham Hotspur academy graduate is well aware of their quality.

“Of course, we know all about the qualities of Gylfi and Kyle and we’re aware that they can be dangerous, but we have to make sure we play like we’ve played recently at White Hart Lane.”

The Algeria international remains focused on the remainder of Spurs’ journey and he hopes that with favourable results, Pochettino’s side can achieve their objectives.

“I feel very confident about the challenges to come.

“We just have to keep believing and hopefully we’ll be able to get the results we need and want.”
