Although he will face a tough battle with Alan Shearer, Craig Bellamy and Shola Ameobi also fighting for places, and Chopra trying to break through, Congo striker LuaLua, has vowed to fight for a place. Congo DR and Newcastle United striker Lomana LuaLua has vowed to earn himself a regular place in the Newcastle first team next season - He will fight until the end.

He knows that he will face a tough battle, with Alan Shearer, Craig Bellamy and Shola Ameobi also fighting for places, and Chopra trying to break through.

"My aim for the new season is to play as much first-team football as possible," he said.

"I knew coming to Newcastle was going to be tough, but it is a challenge I'm enjoying and I think it will bring out the best in me.

"It is sometimes frustrating to be on the bench the whole time, but that doesn't mean I'm going to sulk and moan to the manager.

"I'm still young, the manager has told me to be patient and I just have to ensure that when my chance does come I prove how good I am."
