Munich - Germany striker Mario Gomez has no fear for his place in the Bayern Munich attacking line-up as he seeks a second Bundesliga title following a 2007 triumph with VfB Stuttgart. The 30-million-euro (42 million dollars) summer signing joins first-choice strikers Miroslav Klose and Luca Toni at the club and will also face the challenge of Croatia striker Ivica Olic, who joins from SV Hamburg.
"I don't know how the striking duo will look. That's the decision of the coach," Gomez said Thursday.
"I am simply looking forward to Bayern Munich and the games in which I can play."
Gomez, 23, whose 24 goals last season made him the best German goalscorer in the Bundesliga, said he would be out to prove himself every day in training after joining Munich for a Bundesliga-record fee.
It's not known how new Bayern coach Louis van Gaal aims to fit in his strike force, and there have been reports that the arrival of Gomez could eventually herald the departure of Italy striker Toni.
For Germany ahead of the 2010 World Cup, the ideal pairing, if van Gaal plays uses two forwards, would be Klose and Gomez.
However, Gomez may be wary of the fate of Germany striker Lukas Podolski who spent a good deal of his time on the substitutes' bench after arriving at the club following the 2006 World Cup on a four-year contract. Podolski has now returned to Cologne.
Gomez said he was hungry for more titles, with the target for the new season the domestic league and cup titles, with the Champions League "in the next few years."
"I am a player who wants titles. That gives you the most fun as a footballer, and a few things are possible next season," he said.
Gomez is one of six newcomers at the club including Olic, Ukrainian midfielder Anatoliy Tymoshchuk from Zenit St Petersburg, Croatian midfielder Danijel Pranjic from Heerenveen, Dutch defender Edson Braafheid from FC Twente and German midfielder Alexander Baumjohann from Borussia Moenchengladbach.
German defender Andreas Goerlitz meanwhile returns from a loan spell at Karlsruhe.
