Blackpool manager Michael Appleton believes that Leeds United loanee Ian Poveda is now showing the correct attitude.

Poveda initially struggled when he was out on loan at Blackpool, but has turned around his performances.

He was instrumental in the team's 4-1 win over Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup on Saturday.

"It was definitely one of his best performances for us and the goal probably nudges it as the very best. Since the break the penny has dropped a little bit. His work-rate is incredible for a lad in his position," Appleton revealed via the Daily Mail.

"He still has a lot of learning left in him. There is nothing I can teach him in his ability to go past people. That's just natural. What I can do is help him out of possession, get in good areas to help his team-mates out and hurt the opposition.

"He is a Premier League player, he's just got to believe it. In terms of his passing, crossing and shooting, that's pure ability. He's beginning to understand that the game is not just about when the ball is at his feet."
