Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud insists he is not worried about the arrival of Timo Werner.

The 24-year-old was signed from RB Leipzig to become Chelsea's premier marksman.

But rather than be deterred, Giroud is embracing the new found competition.

"In every big club, there's competition, and it always motivated me to fight for my spot," Giroud said.

"Now, I'm not naive and I know that the club bought Werner to put him on the pitch. One thing's for sure: we don't have the same profile, he likes to go on the sides, he did it with his club and his national team.

"If it was a striker with a similar profile, I would have been more worried, but I think with the different games and the different teams we'll play, the coach will choose different tactical systems and I really hope I'll play, following what I did last year."
