Dionatan Teixeira says he's still adjusting to life at Stoke City.

He arrived last summer via Slovakia after a spell playing there for Kosice and Dukla Banska.

"It is a little bit cold here compared to Brazil, but it is ok," he told The Sentinel.

"It is difficult here because it is a hard game, but I trained hard for this challenge and wait for the chance.

"The hardest thing is the mentality and the passing. The moving and the sprinting is also different.

"For me, the Premier League is the best football in the world and every day I train hard."
