Bournemouth's Marc Pugh not worried about competition from new arrivals

By , Staff Reporter
Bournemouth's Marc Pugh says that he has no fears over the club's new signings taking his position in the team.

Bournemouth's Marc Pugh has insisted that he has no concerns about the club's new arrivals taking his position in the team.

The 28-year-old is the newly-promoted Premier League club's longest-serving player, having made over 200 league appearances since his transfer from Hereford United in 2010.

Manager Eddie Howe has signed Christian Atsu from Chelsea on a season-long loan, as well as Joshua King from Blackburn Rovers, and while the duo will be going up against Pugh for a spot in the team, the versatile player is unfazed.

"We may bring more bodies in but I have to show the confidence and belief that I can do just as good a job as, if not better than, other people," Pugh told the Daily Echo.

The Cherries will open their top-flight campaign with a home clash against Aston Villa on August 8.
