Assou-Ekotto confident over return

Benoit Assou-Ekotto has no fears about losing his place in Tottenham's first team after he made his return from a four-month injury lay-off in yesterday's FA Cup win over Coventry.

Jan Vertonghen and Kyle Naughton have impressed at left-back since Assou-Ekotto injured his knee back in September, while Spurs have also recently added highly-rated full-back Zeki Fryers to their squad. But the Cameroon defender insists he will make the position his own once again.

"It's not a problem," Assou-Ekotto said when asked about competition for his position.
