Benoit Assou-Ekotto vows to battle for his place in the Tottenham Hotspur starting lineup.

Benoit Assou-Ekotto has insisted that he is prepared to fight for his place in the Tottenham Hotspur starting lineup.

The Cameroon international has spent the majority of the season on the sidelines with a knee injury and as a result he has seen the likes of Jan Vertonghen and Kyle Naughton feature in the left-back position.

However, Assou-Ekotto has admitted that he is used to competing for a place in the team.

"It's not a problem," he told the club's official website. "When I came here six years ago I was in competition with Gilberto, Lee Young-Pyo and Gareth Bale and it ended up being my place so it's not a problem."

Assou-Ekotto joined Spurs from Lens in 2006 for a reported fee of £3.5m.
