LIVERPOOL FC WORLD ONLINE (LFCWO)

Stephane Henchoz has vowed to battle for his place at Anfield - even if the Reds pursue their reported interest in Tottenham's Sol Campbell.

Liverpool have been strongly linked with a move for the Spurs defender, but Henchoz isn't daunted by the prospect of competing for a place with one of English football's top players.

He said: "I've been made aware of the rumours about Sol Campbell. I would say it's perfectly normal for Liverpool to be linked with top players because we have had a good season.

"Sol Campbell is a very good player and if we are to build on that success we are going to need as strong a squad as possible.

"I don't think it's bad if big names are being associated with Liverpool, even if a new arrival would put people under pressure. I don't think anyone, whether they are at the club or not, can be guaranteed a regular place in the first team, no matter who they are.

"It's important to have strong competition for places, and there's already competition at Liverpool."
