Hull City boss Marco Silva is delighted with their deal for Kamil Grosicki.
Silva believes the 28-year-old former Rennes star has the kind of skills to prove a big hit in east Yorkshire.
Silva said: "It (the comparison) is not important for me - all I want in my squad is Kamil Grosicki, nothing more.
"I want him to play like he knows. He is one type of player we don't have in our squad, a natural winger. He is a fast and technical player and can come in and give different things to our squad."
