Xherdan Shaqiri intends to break into the Bayern Munich first team in the second half of the season.

Bayern Munich winger Xherdan Shaqiri has targeted a regular starting spot during the second half of the Bundesliga season.

Shaqiri has struggled to break into the Bayern XI so far, being behind Arjen Robben, Thomas Muller and Franck Ribery in the pecking order.

"I want to become a key figure at the club and win lots of trophies," he told the club's official website. "I'll work hard for that, and I think I'm on the right track.

"My goal for the rest of the season is even more playing time, although I know we have a very strong squad. Superb players sometimes drop to the bench.

"When I do play, for five, 20 or 90 minutes, I give it everything. The coach needs to know he can count on me, because that's the only way to go."

Bayern are currently nine points clear at the top of the Bundesliga.
