Demba Ba "not rivals" with Fernando Torres

Chelsea striker Demba Ba insists that he is not a rival of teammate Fernando Torres.

Chelsea striker Demba Ba has insisted that there is no rivalry between him and teammate Fernando Torres.

The pair were rarely played together by interim manager Rafael Benitez last season as the Blues qualified for the Champions League on top of winning the Europa League.

"We will have to see what [the new manager] will bring to the team and if he can play two strikers, how he wants it," Ba is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"But we are not rivals, no chance. You learn a lot from having competition with players like this - it's good for me. I'm getting better and better."

Ba scored six goals for Chelsea last season following his January move from Newcastle United.
