Stoke City manager Mark Hughes feels Bojan Krkic is starting to find some form for his new club.
The 24-year old forward, who joined from Barcelona in the summer, produced another impressive performance for the Potters in their 1-0 loss to Liverpool on Saturday.
Krkic had a slow beginning to life in the Premier League but according to Hughes is now finding his feet in England's top flight.
"He's up to speed now," said Hughes. "We knew we'd have to wait a little while for him to get to grips with everything, but you can see he's stronger than he was at the beginning of the season.
"He's always looking to be positive in his play, technically he can receive the ball in tight areas which is important for us.
"In terms of his performance, I was really pleased with what he produced and he's getting better every game he plays, so that's really encouraging for us."
