Tottenham Hotspur striker Roberto Soldado has insisted that he is aware he must be physically fit to succeed in the Premier League.
Soldado left Valencia to join Spurs for £26m during the summer, but the Spanish international has revealed that he is looking forward to adapting his style of play in England.
The 28-year-old told AFPTV: "I think that the most important thing is to be in shape.
"The intensity of the Premier League, it's very different from La Liga and here football is a lot more physical and a lot more difficult.
"But I think that's good because it gives a lot of rhythm to the game and I think that can be good for me."
Soldado is expected to start for Spurs in their opening Premier League fixture at Crystal Palace on Sunday.
