Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Nabil Bentaleb has revealed that he is eager to improve this season under new manager Mauricio Pochettino.

The 19-year-old broke into the Spurs first team last term before going on to feature for Algeria at the World Cup.

Bentaleb now hopes that he becomes a regular starter at White Hart Lane during the 2014-15 campaign.

"If people think I am still that little kid, then that's up to them, but I have been to the World Cup and I am looking forward to improving even more at Tottenham under the new manager," he told The Sun.

"This time last year I could never have dreamed I would go to the World Cup. Now I want to keep improving at Tottenham and be a regular starter."

Spurs start the new Premier League season on August 16 when they make the trip to London rivals West Ham United.
