Madrid coach Jose Mourinho admits he wants another striker to add to his squad for next season, with Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain currently his only senior recognised centre-forwards.

The likes of Neymar, Sergio Aguero and Emmanuel Adebayor - who spent the second half of last season on loan at Madrid - have all been closely linked with a move to the Bernabeu, but Benzema is not worried about any increased competition.

"It`s normal that Madrid want to sign the best players in the world. I`m going to work hard to be able to play. I`m 100%. It`s not a problem for me that they want to sign strikers," said the France international who struggled to impress initially at Madrid following his big-money move from Lyon in 2009 but ended up with 26 goals in all competitions last season.

He added in the Spanish press: "I have a very high level of confidence. I`m going to work hard and succeed."

Benzema has also been linked with a move to Arsenal this summer, but the 23-year-old is not thinking about quitting the Bernabeu.

"I`ve not spoken with anybody. I`m at Madrid and I want to succeed here. Nothing more. I`m at Madrid, which is the important thing," he said from the club`s summer tour to the United States.

Regarding his relationship with Mourinho, Benzema said: "It`s very good, there`s no problem with him, he`s a great coach for me. Last season was good for me because I scored a lot of goals. He always helps me."
