LILLE, France (AP) — Algeria midfielder Nabil Bentaleb has signed a three-year contract with Lille that will see him return to the French league club where he honed his skills as a youngster. The 28-year-old Bentaleb was born in the northern French city and trained at the club’s academy after his talent was spotted when he was just 10 years old. He made his professional debut in the Premier League with Tottenham, where he made more than 60 appearances, then joined German side Schalke. Bentaleb also played for Newcastle and Angers. Lille was looking for reinforcement in midfield following the departures of several players. The club has won just one of its three opening matches and was routed 4-1 by Lorient over the weekend.
