Georginio Rutter is battling his way through tough training sessions - and reaping the rewards.

Fabian Huerzeler has revealed Albion’s £40 million record signing does not always find it easy in the working week.

But his time in the intense world of the Championship is helping him.

Albion boss Huerzeler said: “He’s impressive. He works hard for the team.

“He adapted quickly. He already felt a little bit of the intensity of the Championship - I don’t know the difference because I didn’t experience it.

“He said there is a similarity in intensity. That’s why I think he adapted quickly.

“He’s a clever player, especially in one against one duels.

“He has a very good touch to get out of these duels.

“He has a good feeling for the space and a good left foot.

“Sprinting in the box, which increases his percentage of scoring.

“He has two things to improve to make me happy.

“Physically he’s not at his highest level yet.

“We have to bring him there with tough training sessions.

“He needs the willpower to go through these sessions and he showed it this week so I’m very happy with him and hopefully he can continue these performances.”
