Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola believes Rodri has already adapted to the rigours of Premier League football.
The Spaniard, signed from Atletico Madrid in the summer, scored a cracking goal in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Burnley.
And Guardiola has been impressed with the midfielder's willingness to learn on and off the pitch.
"[Rodri] was incredible, in his position, offensive, defensive, so clever," said Guardiola.
"He has much better, the picture of our game, a picture of the players where they are.
"Fantastic player, so young, and he's adapted perfectly to this country. He's got it. He's a guy who wants to learn, listen, every training session he's ready and that's why always we can count on him without a problem."
