Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola insists he's happy with the early season form of summer signing Riyad Mahrez.

Guardiola is satisfied that the Algerian is moving in the right direction as he works towards getting to grips with everything required of him at the new club and admitted he has been amazed at the qualities the Algerian has first-hand.

"I would [say] quite, quite well, for how quickly he adapt and especially for the quality," he said.

"He's one of the most technical players I've ever seen, the skills and everything. It's just of course there's a lot of information - the way we want to play, the way we want to do things, the corrections after the games that we have to do, in all things, defensive and offensive set-pieces.

"But he settled good. He has respect in the locker room and that is the most important thing."
