Liverpool's assistant manager Sammy Lee has stated his delight with the performances and professionalism of January signing Maxi Rodriguez.
The 29 year-old Argentina international was bought for £1.5 million, from next week's Europa league semi final opponents Atletico Madrid, and has since made 14 appearances for the reds contributing two assists.
"Maxi is a class footballer," 51 year-old Lee said according to The Sun.
"He has come here and settled very quickly. He has been great to have around the place and he is very focused.
"He is a great professional and it is a great pity he is not available for us in the Europa League."
Lee also praised Rodriguez's determination and desire to improve.
"He wants to do well at this club and that's great for us when you have an international footballer who comes here and wants to learn and get better."
Lee was also quick to praise the midfielder's attacking contribution in a season where Liverpool have often struggled to create enough chances.
"One of his best assets is he likes to get the ball forward quickly and get us on the attack. That's the first thing you should always think about when you get the ball — to pass it forward — and he does that"
