Portsmouth loan striker Ben Sahar has warned Peter Crouch and Jermain Defoe that he is targeting a starting spot at Fratton Park.
The 18-year-old Israel international is determined to make the most of his six-month loan stay with Pompey, despite admitting that he faces a battle to earn selection ahead of England duo Crouch and Defoe.
Chelsea youngster Sahar said: "Obviously I want to play every game, but we have good strikers, which makes it difficult because I want to show people I can play and score a few goals.
"I'm happy to have the opportunity to fight for a place with such good players. It is not something I fear.
"I enjoy the competition and if I get my chance, I want to make sure I take it.
"The longer pre-season has gone, the sharper I'm feeling and with big games coming up, I want to be part of them as well."
