And while it has only been one game, Cesar Azpilicueta believes it will not take long for the new arrival to get up to speed.
"I've seen a very focused lad with great determination, great ambition," Azpilicueta said.
"It was his first game since November so, for him, it was like pre-season.
"He played 35 minutes at Anfield, so it's not the easiest debut, and I think he did brilliantly.
"He's a player who can have that mix between playing good football with his feet and also running the space, you could see his speed."
