Fabregas: 'Neymar needs time'

Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas has admitted that Neymar will need time to settle at the club.

The 21-year-old Brazilian forward joined the Spanish champions from Santos last month in a deal worth around £30m.

"Neymar will need time to adapt because he is coming from a completely different type of football from what he will find here," Fabregas told Movistar. "We need to help him settle in and grow so that he can give us great nights."

Neymar is currently competing for hosts Brazil at the Confederations Cup.
