Nemanja Matic is determined to fight for his future at Chelsea.
Matic, who had a below-par campaign last season as the Blues limped to tenth in the Premier League, has welcomed N'Golo Kante's arrival.
But he warned: “I'm sure that 100,000 players want to come to play for Chelsea so there's always competition.
“All life is a fight, so every player is ready for that.
“It's great to have him here. All good players are welcome at Chelsea.
“He's a great player and he'll bring a lot of qualities to our team.
“It was difficult to play against him last season and I'm very happy because he's come to us."
