Paul Eaton 16 November 2005 Chilean winger Mark Gonzales has admitted he doesn't expect to walk straight into Liverpool's first team when he completes his transfer to Anfield. Liverpool have agreed a deal to bring the winger to the club and are now waiting to obtain a work permit before his career with the Reds can get underway.

Gonzales can't wait to challenge for a first team place but is realistic enough to accept it won't be easy.
"It won't be easy to win a place in the line-up and, if I achieve that, it won't be easy to maintain myself there, because Liverpool is such a competitive club that, if I relax, there are two or three players who want my place.
Gonzales, who is currently training in his home country, also reveals he has kept in regular touch with Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez over recent weeks.
"He is always calling me," he added. "The last time we talked was 10 days ago. He asked me how I was feeling, if I was better from my injury. He is worried about my health.
"I don't have any problems to kick the ball as strong as always, although I know I have lack of movement yet. I'm 80 or 90% fit."
