Marco Silva believes new man Kamil Grosicki can provide extra threat against Liverpool but shrugs off claims that winger is 'Polish Messi'

Hull boss Marco Silva believes new boy Kamil Grosicki can add an extra dimension to his side's Premier League relegation battle starting against Liverpool at the KC Stadium on Saturday.

Silva sensibly shrugged off suggestions from the player's homeland that he may be the 'Polish Messi' - but believes the 28-year-old has the kind of skills to prove a big hit in east Yorkshire.

Silva said: 'It (the comparison) is not important for me - all I want in my squad is Kamil Grosicki, nothing more.
