Rodrigo Bentancur is said to be incredibly excited about having the chance to work with Antonio Conte at Tottenham Hotspur, and believes that the Premier League will suit his style, according to a report from The Athletic.

Bentancur was one of two Juventus players to join Spurs on the final day of the January transfer window. The Athletic reports that they have paid £15 million initially, with £5 million set to come in add-ons.

Bentancur made his Tottenham debut in the FA Cup win over Brighton at the weekend, following a spell on international duty. He only came on for the final 13 minutes. And yet, he did manage to whet the appetite of what is to come.

The 24-year-old somehow managed to make more tackles than all but two of his Tottenham teammates (Whoscored). And no substitute managed to complete more passes for the home side than the Uruguayan.

Even the yellow card he received looked to be a smart one, with Bentancur doing everything he could to foul Yves Bissouma. The Brighton star was arguably the best player on the pitch during the second-half.

The Athletic reports that Bentancur believes that the Premier League is a good fit for him, and he is excited to work with Tottenham boss Conte.

Conte could be ideal for Tottenham signing Bentancur after less impressive season with Juve

Bentancur is probably a player few Juventus fans would have expected to lose before this season began. He had been superb in their previous title wins.

However, his form dipped in this campaign. Nevertheless, The Athletic claims that Bentancur is seen as a bigger lose to Juve than Dejan Kulusevski.

The quality is clear to see. And few managers have a better track record of getting the most out of players than Conte. Harry Kane called him ‘brilliant‘ at the weekend.

It is little surprise Bentancur is excited about the prospect of working with the Italian.
