Caballero eyes first-team action for Man City
Willy Caballero has warned Joe Hart he has not come to Manchester City just to sit on the bench.
The Argentine goalkeeper, 32, completed a move to the Etihad Stadium from Malaga earlier this month.
Caballero is expected to play second fiddle to England international Hart, but aims to convince Manuel Pellegrini - his former coach at Malaga - he is worthy of a regular starting berth.
"I know the situation now but I will fight to play. The decision will be down to the coach, the boss. I have trained well and I will fight," said Caballero.
"I know my position, but I want to try hard to fight for this position. Joe is a fantastic goalkeeper, but I've come to play - I want to try and take my opportunity.
"It will be difficult, yes, but City are a big club and it's a big opportunity. I want to try in every way I can to play."
Caballero acknowledged that Pellegrini was a major factor in his decision to join City.
"It was a crucial part of me coming to City knowing him from before and having played for him. He was a very important figure in me coming to Manchester City," added the experienced stopper.
