"As soon as I arrived here, not just the manager but everybody at the club has been very nice and it's helped relaxed me," the young Brazilian told the official site.

"It is a great club and like a big family - that is very important for a young player that has just arrived. It leaves me at ease to do the thing I love most which is to play football.

"I don't speak English and I can only speak and understand a little bit of Spanish.

"Lucas speaks Portuguese and has helped me a lot. He has been like a father to me and that has helped me a lot.

"Suarez and Seba [Coates] have also helped me. If somebody wants to tell me something, when they are around they can help me understand, so it has been very important their presence here for me."
