Jose Fonte: 'We fear nobody in Europa League draw'

Jose Fonte says that Southampton fear nobody ahead of their Europa League playoff draw.

Jose Fonte has insisted that he and his Southampton teammates are unfazed over who they draw in the Europa League playoffs.

Goals at the start and end of the clash from Graziano Pelle and Sadio Mane sealed a 2-0 win away to Vitesse tonight as the Saints progressed 5-0 on aggregate.

Tomorrow, Ronald Koeman's side discover who they must beat in order to reach the group stages, but Fonte is adamant that they fear nobody.

Asked if there was a particular team Southampton would like to avoid, the Portugal international told the Daily Echo: "No, whoever.

"As long as it's not a six or seven hour journey. Maybe Portugal, maybe a Portuguese team would be nice."

Southampton's 3-0 win in the first leg was their first European victory since 1981.
