Dirk Kuyt has lifted the lid on how Alberto Aquilani is attempting to fit in with his new teammates.
Kuyt was captain as the new boy made his debut against Arsenal on Wednesday following an ankle injury.
"We are pleased to see Alberto play," says the Dutchman. "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.
"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."
