Tottenham midfielder Nabil Bentaleb is on the brink of joining Schalke after passing a medical, the Bundesliga club’s director of sport Christian Heidel has revealed.
The 21-year-old Algeria international travelled to Germany for the examination last Thursday and Heidel says his club are just awaiting paperwork from the Premier League outfit for the transfer to go through.
"We expect him to be able to take part in training this afternoon," Heidel said at a press conference on Friday.
"We've had an exchange of paperwork with Tottenham and we are just waiting now for the final documents to be sent back to us.
