Marseille coach Rudi Garcia is not pleased with Clinton N'Jie's attitude, feeling the Tottenham Hotspur loanee has not yet bought into the project at the Stade Velodrome, it has been claimed.
The 23-year-old joined the French giants in the summer transfer window on a season-long loan deal, with Georges-Kevin N'Koudou heading in the opposite direction on a permanent deal.
Marseille can make N'Jie's switch to the club permanent at the end of the season, if they pay €7m.
Whether the French side will do that however appears in the balance as, according to French sports daily L'Equipe, Marseille coach Garcia does not feel the forward is showing the desired attitude.
The coach feels N'Jie has not bought into the project at Marseille; Garcia was appointed Marseille coach in late October, just days after the club was taken over by American businessman Frank McCourt, and was not responsible for signing N'Jie.

N'Jie is expected to start this afternoon when Marseille host Nancy in a Ligue 1 fixture and will be looking to impress as he bids to convince Garcia he is fully committed to the cause.
So far this season the forward has made nine appearances in Ligue 1 for Marseille, scoring one goal and providing a single assist.
