Chelsea fullback Marcos Alonso is ready to fight Juventus left back Alex Sandro for a starting role - should the Blues secure his signature.
Antonio Conte is determined to increase competition for places, with the Brazil international high on his transfer shortlist.
But Alonso says he would relish the challenge.
He said: “This is Chelsea. We play in four competitions this year, so many games and competition can only be good for me and for the team. That's it.
"I will just keep training, keep improving, keep doing well for the team and keep fighting."
