"I think for some of the younger players Robbie is an idol. And to see your idol in front of you and see the things he can do is amazing for some of them," said Benitez.
"He is really good and really positive, a very good signing and he now has the mentality that you look for in a senior player of his age.
"He trains at the same level as the rest of the other players in every training session. If you see the number of goals that he scores in training it's fantastic. You see that in every training session.
"Robbie is a very clever player, especially at home, and can be a good option for us.
"I was talking to him about two weeks ago and it was fine. He is training well, he is working really hard in every training session.
"He knows and understands the situation because he is not stupid. He would like to play for sure, but he must wait.
"Look at Vladimir Smicer before. You never know when a player can be really important.
"For me, Robbie during the season can be a very good player for us. Sometimes, if you're having trouble scoring, you can use him because he is clever and can do it."
