Victor Anichebe is ready to fight for a first team place at Everton.

"There is a lot of competition to be involved on the first day of the season," Anichebe told evertonfc.com. "There's AJ, Beats, Vaughany, myself, Faddy and even Lukas now.

"We're all in it together and spurring each other on, it can only benefit the team. It shows that we are moving forward and, realistically, everyone is going to get a chance this year. Hopefully we are going to play a lot of games and it's just a question of being ready."
