Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish was delighted with Nikola Zigic's debut in their 2-2 draw with Sunderland.
Zigic's performance was a rare bright spot in what was a poor showing from the visitors, and McLeish expects the former Valencia forward to offer even more once he fully adapts to English football.
The Scot said: "He was a presence and he will cause problems but I'll be expecting a lot more from not only Zigic but everybody. He's got an international pedigree but it's a new league for him.
"Playing in England is completely different to La Liga. He would be starved of balls in La Liga and he would only really get the delivery when he got to the byline.
"The longer ball from the back in English football is something a little bit new for him and I'm going to have to do a wee bit of work on the training ground to help him improve in that respect."
