Tino Livramento echoed the thoughts of the Newcastle United insiders on Malick Thiaw.
Thiaw, who has proven to be a brilliant signing for Newcastle United, scored his first two goals for the club on Saturday.
Indeed, Thiaw was brilliant as Newcastle beat Everton 4-1 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The German nodded in the opener just 55 seconds into the game following Lewis Miley’s corner.
Who was your MOTM against Everton?! So many to choose from, let us know your thoughts…
He would later score Newcastle’s fourth on the day too following a brilliant second-half cross from Lewis Hall.
It was a brilliant display from the 24-year-old and yet more proof that he’s one of the biggest bargains any Premier League club signed this summer.
Newcastle insiders are surprised about how well Thiaw has adapted to life in the Premier League and Livramento was full of praise for him after the game.

Thiaw, like many of the other Newcastle players, celebrated the victory on Instagram.
The impressive defender, who is believed to have cost the club under £35million, is becoming an increasingly popular figure after almost every game.
He captioned a post: “Night I won’t forget. Blessed to score my first goals for Newcastle BIG TEAM WIN!!!!”
Livramento was among a number of his teammates to respond, with the England defender writing: “So good.”
Malick Thiaw has now scored DOUBLE the amount of goals as Alexander Isak this season…
Malick Thiaw, Malick Thiaw, Malick THIAW, THIAW, THIAW 🎵 How much better is he than you’d thought he’d be?

Obviously, the two goals that Thiaw scored take many of the headlines.
Still, a deeper look into the statistics paint an even better picture.
Thiaw had 71 touches, made five clearances, four recoveries, and won 6/7 of his aerial duels.

This is a player seemingly getting better. It’s incredible to think no one else in the Premier League attempted to sign him in the summer transfer window just gone.
Thiaw is delighted to have joined Newcastle, and it’s a move that has worked out for all involved.
