West Bromwich Albion assistant manager Eddie Newton has praised summer signing Pablo Ibanez for the way he has quickly adjusted to life in the Premier League.
The 29-year-old Spain international opted to leave Atletico Madrid for the Baggies and has since shown up well in his formative weeks at The Hawthorns.
Newton told the club's official website:"I think Pablo has been fantastic since he's been here – his humility, his professionalism, his ability to adjust to life in England, which he's done.
"He's been positive and he's picked up the language very quickly – we're very pleased with him.
"His CV is amazing, but you can see why it's so good.
"Sometimes you can get a player with that quality come in and, when you try to coach them, they simply don't want to know or they think they know everything because of where they've been – but not him.
"He wants to learn and achieve good things with us. He's been into our office and talked fantastically.
"He told us he's here for the long stay, that we make our decision accordingly and that we do what we need to do."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
