Fulham boss Martin Jol expects not to see the best of Bryan Ruiz until the New Year.

Jol is sure his forward will come good, but warned it will take time for the South American to find his feet in the Premier League.

"When he signed I joked, 'Give him three weeks,'" said Jol.

"It is very difficult when you come to this country. There are some players who need a couple of months, or even a year.

"Bryan Ruiz is a quality player. Don't forget, Mousa Dembele needed seven or eight months to be the player he is now."
