Ghana winger Christian Atsu says he is ready to challenge for a place in the Newcastle United team.
Atsu is yet to start a game for the Magpies in this season's English Premier League.
It has been tough for the 26 year old but he remains confident of making it at the club.
“I’m not frustrated because the league just started; we’ve played only two games. So I am keeping my focus and working hard at the training grounds” he said.
“I’m very happy we have competition in our team because it makes me work much harder but I believe the coach will give everybody chance” he emphasized.
