Tottenham Hotspur loanee Clinton N’Jie has been speaking about his first few weeks at Marseille, quoted by French website Foot01.
N’Jie was loaned to Marseille for the season as part of a deal which brought Georges-Kevin N’Koudou to Spurs on a permanent basis.

N’Koudou is effectively replacing N’Jie after a disappointing injury hit season, 12 months after he signed from Lyon.
The attacker took on Lyon with Marseille at the weekend, coming off the bench for the final stages and missing an injury time opportunity to grab a winner.
N’Jie said, speaking about the opportunity: “It’s a shame not to have scored. But Lopes made a fine save with his foot. I struck it on instinct.”

He also went on to admit that the recent months have been difficult for him, also struggling to shake off an injury.
He added: “This group consists of many new players. So we try to find the right selections. It’s not easy when there are 10 players who have just arrived. Gradually, it will get better. My feelings? I have adjusted a little. With my knee, the last weeks have not been easy … but it starts to get better.”
N’Jie might be out of sight for Tottenham, but if he can work his way into the Marseille team and start making an impact, then he will be able to try and send a message to the club.
He has just two substitute appearances to his name so far since his switch was finalised.
