The Italian midfielder has impressed Kuyt with his 15 minute cameo against Arsenal on Wednesday and his performances in training.

"We are pleased to see Alberto play. We've known him for a while around the club but this was his first game, and hopefully we can see a lot more of him," said Wednesday's captain.

"He's a nice lad on and off the pitch. He told us he couldn't wait to start, so it's good for him and for us that he can finally play.

"He has tried to be involved not only in training but also off the field. He tried to play cards with us on the way down to London and pick up the language."
