West Bromwich Albion striker Victor Anichebe has told his young teammates to be ready for preseason under new manager Alan Irvine.
Anichebe says the former Everton academy chief won't rest on reputation.
"As soon as I heard the appointment I said to guys like Donervorn (Daniels) and some of the other younger guys 'make sure you're ready pre-season' because Alan doesn't care whether you're a senior pro or who you are," he said.
"He'll give the young guys a chance if you're ready and you're good enough.
"If they can get a good pre-season under their belts then Alan will have no problem giving them a chance because he sees the quality of young players he has brought through."
