Raul Meireles showed he has the potential to become a top Premier League player during Liverpool's 3-0 win at Wolves, according to Kenny Dalglish.
The Portugal midfielder moved to Anfield from Porto in an £11.5 million deal last summer, but has struggled to come to terms with the demands of English football.
However, he scored a superb volley and claimed the man-of-the-match honour in Liverpool's victory at Molineux on Saturday.
Dalglish was thrilled to see his side record their first success since he returned as manager and singled out Meireles as one of the main reasons for the Reds securing all three points.
'Raul played very well, he made the first and scored the second. He's a very good footballer,' the Scot told Sky Sports.
'It takes a wee bit of adjusting getting up to speed with the Premier League and he's getting up to that level - he's a talented footballer.'
Dalglish also had some words of praise for Fernando Torres, who scored the first and third goals, but was less forthcoming on the subject of Liverpool's reported interest in Blackpool midfielder Charlie Adam and Ajax striker Luis Suarez.
'If we've got business to do we'll do it behind closed doors. I know what's going on but that doesn't mean I have to tell you,' he said.
