Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez has urged patience with Yoshinori Muto.

The striker has battled to make an impact in the Premier League this season.

But Benitez says: "What I can see every training session is commitment, passion, workrate, but still you can see he was fouled a couple of times (against Crystal Palace) and the referee didn't give a foul, so he was complaining and waiting.

"So he needs to understand that the Premier League is different, and then you have to carry on. Some players, they need one year. Some players, they six months. Some players, they need one month. So, for a new player, always you have given him some time, and he has to be as positive as he is in every training session."
