Arsenal defender Rob Holding has no issues with fighting for his place.
The center-back is down the pecking order at the club, given Ben White and Gabriel are first-choice for manager Mikel Arteta.
The arrival of William Saliba, who has returned from a loan spell at Marseille, means a starting spot will be even harder to achieve.
He said, per The Sun: "Now we have more strength in central defence and more competition for places.
"I'm not going to just give up and be like 'if I'm not starting then I'm not interested in coming on and helping the team'.
"We want Champions League qualification and we have two opportunities to do that by finishing in the top four or by winning the Europa League.
"My preference would be to have both."
