Mamadou Sakho has no problem fighting for his place at Liverpool.
Since completing a switch to the club from Paris Saint-Germain on transfer deadline day, the 23-year-old has now made a total of nine appearances, despite having to contend with the wealth of defensive options at manager Brendan Rodgers' disposal.
"I get on very well with all of them," Sakho told Liverpoolfc.com. "They are all experienced players and so I can only learn from working alongside them. As a youngster I can benefit from their experience.
"There is competition, but the most important thing is that all the players make themselves ready and available for the group, help the team to grow and help Liverpool get back onto the European stage.
"That said, of course I'm working really hard to earn my place in the side, like every player. It's been going well up to now.
"English football is different to the French league, it's quicker and more physical. But I think the settling-in period is going pretty well and my teammates have been helping me a lot."
