Southampton striker Che Adams says he's relished the challenge to replace Danny Ings this season.
Ings left for Aston Villa last summer.
Adams said: “Obviously, he was the main provider of the goals.
“But now it's up to the next generation and the other players, like myself and the other strikers, to step up and do well.
“It's always a nice feeling to have pressure on your shoulders because that's what you strive for and want to do."
Adams revealed he revelled the extra competition for a place in the side.
He explained: “You need competition for places, and I think we've got the right balance now with everyone.
“Everyone brings a sort of different game, to our plans in matches.
“It's been great, everyone has been top-drawer and they're really good players.
“So, there's no knocking that, and there's a small headache for the manager, who has to pick the team on a Saturday."
