Having failed to score since joining Las Palmas, it has been suggested that too much is being expected of the former Real Madrid striker

Jese Rodriguez has been struggling with the weight of expectation since his move to Las Palmas, according to head coach Quique Setien.

The 24-year-old has endured a difficult return to La Liga after moving on loan from Paris Saint-Germain last month, with Las Palmas losing all four of the league matches he has started.

Jese is yet to score for his new club and managed only one goal in his spell in Ligue 1, adding to the scrutiny of the forward's form as he prepares to face Real Madrid on Wednesday for the first time since leaving last August.
