(Reuters) - Defensive midfielder Nabil Bentaleb has joined Schalke 04 from English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur on a season-long loan, the German club said on Thursday.

Bentaleb, who has 19 caps for Algeria, has not trained with the Spurs first-team since July after manager Mauricio Pochettino told the midfielder he did not feature in his plans.
