Liverpool reserves coach Gary Ablett expects Jay Spearing to help young Icelandic signing Victor Palsson settle.

"Jay's had the base of being a regular for two years now and he's also had a little go in the first team," he told liverpoolfc.tv. "Victor's very new and has a lot to learn - and I'm sure playing alongside Jay he'll learn more quickly.

"Jay is vocal and vociferous - he won't just let him get on with it, he'll push him and help him. Playing alongside this kind of player can only help Victor."
