Marouane Fellaini has been backed to succeed at Everton Football Club.

The 20-year-old has struggled to adapt to life in England following his £15million deadline day move from Standard Liege, but team-mate Mikel Arteta has backed him to succeed in the Premier League.

"When you come to a club you are overloaded with information early on but it becomes even harder to settle when everything is not right," Arteta told the Liverpool Echo.

"We are trying to explain every single thing to him - about the videos he sees, the meetings we go to, situations on the pitch - to try to help him settle. But his attitude has been very good.

"He is starting to improve. He is talking a little bit more, he is working hard. It is not easy when you come to a club and the club is not in its best moment.

"He needs some credit for the way he is trying to adapt. He has got the ability to score a goal, he has got stature at set pieces to cause problems and hopefully he can help us with that."
