Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt believes that Maxi Rodriguez is starting to show that he is a "top player" who is improving all the time.
The Argentine, a January arrival from Atletico Madrid, has shown signs that he is settling in England in recent performances and Kuyt feels that he has provided some useful competition for places at Anfield.
"I think he's doing better and better," the Dutchman told the Reds' official website.
"For me, Maxi is a quality player and one of the best things is that's he's adapted so quickly.
"He's come from another country and he speaks another language, and still he wants to do his best for the team.
"He's been really important in the games he's played. And him joining us means the squad is a little bit bigger and has definitely improved.
"It means everyone has to challenge even more for his place, and that's always a good thing."
Rodriguez is fortunate to have so many fellow Spanish speakers around him on Merseyside to help him settle in, but Kuyt believes it is the Argentine's quality that is making his adaptation to the Premier League relatively smooth.
He added: "I know the Spanish lads are helping him lots, but you can see the way he's playing he's adapting very quickly and that he's a top player."
