Newcastle United: Fans would get rid of ‘awful’ Nabil Bentaleb

Many Newcastle United fans would get rid of Nabil Bentaleb after reports from SportBild (via ChronicleLive) claimed that clubs in China, Saudi Arabia and Russia are monitoring the midfield man.

Bentaleb is only on loan currently from Schalke and the Tyneside club are yet to decide whether they would like to sign him permanently. The 25-year old has made six appearances for the Magpies so far in all competitions, according to Transfermarkt.

Lots of members of the Toon faithful have called on NUFC to not take up the option to sign Bentaleb, but based off his stats in this Premier League campaign, this may not be a wise wish. The Algerian international averages more tackles, interceptions and passes than any of his teammates, as per Whoscored.

Nevertheless, these supporters would get rid of Bentaleb after his loan deal expires, with one fan branding him as ‘awful‘. Check out the rest of the reaction on Twitter below:
