Tchoyi out to impress in cup clash

30 November 2010 15:30
West Brom midfielder Somen Tchoyi is hoping an impressive performance against Ipswich in the Carling Cup can bolster his chances of becoming a Premier League regular. The Cameroon international showed his quality with a stunning goal as a substitute in Albion's 4-1 win at Everton on Saturday. It was his third goal in five appearances, including one on his full Premier League debut in the shock 2-2 draw away to Manchester United. Tchoyi has been largely confined to a bit-part role, but has started the Baggies last two Carling Cup ties and netted in the 4-1 success at Leicester in the previous round. Now he is hoping he can impress at Portman Road, if selected, and put himself in the frame to start Sunday's home league encounter with Newcastle. Tchoyi said: "I want to play. I came to England to play in the big league. I am working hard for the team and to try and get more time on the pitch. "Every time I play I try my best to show what I can do. Wednesday's game - if I am chosen - is a big chance for me to show I'm worthy of a starting place against Newcastle on Sunday. I was really pleased with my performance against Everton when I came on, and goals give you confidence."
