"We are just waiting to sort the final paperwork to confirm the deal. Bentaleb is 100 per cent fit, but we need to be patient and give him a little time to integrate into the team"Stambouli has just had his medical. We will wait for the results and we are positive that everything will be in order.
"Our new recruits know each other from their time together at Tottenham. They will be good additions to the team."
Bentaleb, 21, emerged through Spurs' youth system to make his professional debut in 2013, and has turned out a further 65 times in all competitions for the club.
