Barcelona legend Xavi has praised the impact of summer signing Paulinho, suggesting the Brazilian's experience and less 'complicated' style of play is benefitting the team.
Barça were heavily criticised for paying €40m to bring the former Tottenham flop back to Europe following a spell in China with Guangzhou Evergrande, but Paulinho has taken to Spanish football very well and has contributed several crucial goals.
There is little higher praise than approval from Xavi, with the four-time Champions League winner telling Mundo Deportivo, "He knows what he is doing, he is intelligent and does not get complicated, he arrives at the area, plays easy football and fits in well.
