Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Moussa Dembele has said that Spurs are determined to win the Europa League this season.

Tim Sherwood's troops flashed their cup credentials by overturning a 1-0 first-leg deficit to beat Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk on Thursday, setting up a quarter-final tie with Benfica.

"Some people say that for English teams, the Europa League is not so important. But for us I think it's very important," he told the club's official website. "We want to achieve something this year and making progress in Europe is a big help."

Tottenham host the Portuguese giants at White Hart Lane on March 13 before travelling to Lisbon for the return leg a week later.
