He said, "He’s a player very short in sessions, now he has a start in him. In Southampton, he came in as a sub.
"Yeah, still, he’s in the process that he has come into the club. He has to come into the team and know what is the game, what are the principles, what are the rules, and know his team-mates. So, especially, know with his profile what he can contribute for his team.
"So yeah, we are in that process and that will take some time, but it will come, it will come in a natural way. And you can already see when he is fulfilling the process he will really be a very good player for us.”
