The tactician who was full of praise for his summer signing qualities allayed that Calvin will need to be given time as this is the first time for him in the premier league while backing him to come good in the long run.
“It will be different for Calvin as it will be his first time in the Premier League. Even though he’s a London boy, it’s a new league and he will soon understand better how we defend,” Silva said in a press conference where he assessed the team’s pre-season performance against Germany-based club, Hoffenheim.
“We knew what type of player we were signing and the skills he has but the summer signings still need more time,” Marco stated.
Calvin Bassey and Fulham will start their premier league campaign with an away game against Everton on Saturday, 12th, August.
