Agent insists Barcelona's Keirrison will come good at Benfica

The agent of Barcelona striker Keirrison has played down his early season struggles on-loan at Benfica.

Barca coughed up over £11 million for Keirrison in the summer before immediately sending him away to Portuguese giants Benfica for this season.

Anahori Malaquias said: "It's just a matter of time before Keirrison is scoring goals like he used to in Brazil, where he played as a starter, for both Coritiba and Palmeiras.

"Keirrison arrived long after the other players at Benfica had begun preseason training.

"He was very well received, is at a high-level club and feels he is progressing very well. So he is very happy."
