Chelsea midfielder Yossi Benayoun is adamant that he is content with his role as a substitute as he proves himself worthy of playing for his new club.
The Israel international has not been given his first start with the Blues since moving to Stamford Bridge from Liverpool this summer.
However, the 30-year-old scored his first goal for the Blues on Saturday, coming off the bench to fire home the final goal in Chelsea’s 6-0 demolition of Wigan Athletic.
Benayoun is confident that he can do what he did at Liverpool and prove himself to his prolific new team.
"I know I can do it; I did it before in my career," Benayoun told the Evening Standard.
"When I arrived at Liverpool, I knew I had to wait on the bench and try to change games and now I'm also doing it for Chelsea.
“When you come to a big club you need to be patient, there are a lot of quality players, but I just want to prove that I deserve to be here every chance that I get.
"I enjoy playing anywhere and every minute I am on the pitch. I can play anywhere in the three in midfield or the three up front."
