Clinton N'Jie cautious over Monaco threat

Clinton N'Jie cautious over Monaco threat

Tottenham Hotspur striker Clinton N'Jie has warned that AS Monaco will be a dangerous opponent when the sides meet in the Europa League.

Spurs travel to Stade Louis II to take on the French outfit in their Group J match this evening.

Njie, who joined Spurs from Ligue 1 club Lyon in the summer, has stated that Monaco will not make life easy for Mauricio Pochettino's side.

"I think all the teams from the French league, whenever they play teams from England, are motivated and I know we are going to have a difficult game," the 22-year-old told BBC Sport.

"Monaco always defend very well and I think they're going to attack, so we know it's going to be a difficult one. They will be at 100% because they are playing against Tottenham, but we are going to be ready physically and mentally.

"Monaco are a good team but I think if we go there determined to win we can be victorious."

Spurs beat Qarabag FK in their opening group stage match a fortnight ago.
