Tottenham midfielder Nabil Bentaleb will not leave White Hart Lane this summer after reports suggested the club were happy with his attitude in training, according to ESPN FC.
The 21-year-old has been on the periphery of the Spurs first team - making just two starts in the Premier League this season with his last appearance being a brief two-minute run out in January against Crystal Palace.
This season's fortunes for the Algeria international is in stark contrast to last season where he enjoyed a more prominent role for Mauricio Pochettino, resulting in the youngster signing a new five-year deal at the club.
But the form of Mousa Dembele and Eric Dier in the holding role, as well as a spate of injuries, has limited Bentaleb to a mere watching brief, but reports have now claimed that he has shown an impeccable attitude in light of his situation.
It is understood the 21-year-old is happy at the club and is in good spirits at the prospect of Champions League football next season and due to his attitude, Pochettino and his staff are against the notion of selling the player in the upcoming transfer window.
Bentaleb has only recently returned from a knee injury and has turned out for the U21 side on a number of occasions and expressed his delight at returning to first team training on Twitter.

Meanwhile, a promising season for the North London club ended in disastrous fashion after being thrashed 5-1 by already-relegated Newcastle at St James' Park on Sunday.
The result, coupled with Arsenal's 4-0 victory over Aston Villa, meant that Spurs finished 3rd, despite being in the title race up until May, but their recent dire form has condemned them to another season behind their bitter North London rivals.
