New signing Asmir Begovic is looking forward to challenging first-choice goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois for a spot in Chelsea's starting eleven.

Begovic is expected to start the season as back-up to Courtois but he plans to fight the talented Belgian international for the gloves under Jose Mourinho.

He said of his competition with Courtois: "I want to test myself against Thibaut, he's one of the best goalkeepers in the world, but I believe in myself.

"Hopefully every time I can show everybody what I'm all about and ultimately help this team. We all have to play our part and at a club like this I think you get to do so."
