Fulham forward Bryan Ruiz has admitted he is struggling to cope with the pace of the game in the Premier League following his summer switch from FC Twente.
The Cottagers paid out a reported £10.6million to bring in the Costa Rica international on deadline day after being convinced by his performances in the Eredivisie that he could be a great success.
But Fulham have yet to see a return on that investment, with Ruiz failing to score in his first month at the club and not yet managing to establish himself in Martin Jol's starting XI.
The 26-year-old concedes that his confidence has been hit by how different the demands of English football are compared to what he was used to in Holland.
I think he will do good, remember when David Silva came into English football? It took him like a month or 2 to adapt!
