Fernando Torres has no issue with Chelsea's pursuit of goalscoring reinforcements in the January transfer window and is ready to fight for his place at Stamford Bridge, according to Rafael Benitez.
Torres has come in for extreme criticism for his lack of potency at Chelsea, but remains the only senior out-and-out centre-forward available to Benitez as the transfer window approaches.
Torres has hit form of sorts since Benitez replaced Roberto di Matteo at the Chelsea helm, and the 28-year-old has scored 13 goals in all competitions so far this season.
But, says Benitez, Torres is aware Chelsea are in desperate need of more competition for places at the top end of the pitch, and the Spain international is content with further recruits joining him at Stamford Bridge.
