Alaves president Alfonso Fernandez de Troconiz thinks Manchester United loanee Facundo Pellistri can excel at the club.
The 18-year-old winger, signed from Penarol in the summer, has joined Alaves on loan until the end of the season.
"We have full confidence in him and this is why we really fought to get him in on loan," Troconiz told the Daily Mail. "We really think he can contribute a lot to us.
"We are fully aware he is a young player and he is beginning his European career and he will need to improve.
"But we think we are an ideal team for him to improve with because Alaves is a small club and I think this could favour his improvement.
"We are convinced that he is going to help us have a magnificent second part of the season."
