Norwich City striker Kyle Lafferty has insisted that he is determined to fight for first-team football at the club.
The Northern Ireland international, who spent the second half of last season at Turkish side Rizespor, said that he is not interested in going out on loan again.
"Every single player in this world wants to play in the Premier League, you just have to look at the players playing in it. I want to play against those players," PA quotes him as saying.
"I'm not going to take the easy option and go out on loan to a Championship team, play the long-ball game. I want to play against the best players in the world in the Premier League.
"When I was a young boy I sat watching Match of the Day, dreaming of playing there, so I'm not going to throw my hat in now and take that easy option."
Lafferty faces competition from Cameron Jerome, Dieumerci Mbokani and Gary Hooper for a spot in the Norwich attack.
