Aston Villa striker John Carew says former Liverpool fullback John Arne Riise will enjoy life at Roma.

"John Arne is moving to a top Italian club where he is likely to experience even more pressure than what he was used to in England - but I think he will manage that," stated Carew to seher.no.

"In my opinion, I think he will be a success at Roma.

"He is the type of defender who fits in very well to Italian football. He is good both defensive and going forward, has a good left foot and a long throw-in.

"Riise will be aware that the pressure is just as big in Rome as in England. The only difference is 40,000 fans in the stands rather than 60,000."
