Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew says Davide Santon is still bedding down in the Premier League.

Pardew firmly believes the best of Santon will come.

And he is still delighted with a player he described as a "real capture" back in August.

He told the Evening Chronicle: "He will add to our technical ability.

"It is technical players that take you up a level. He just has had to adjust to it."
