Huddersfield Town new boy Karlan Grant needs time before his first Huddersfield Town start, according to head coach Jan Siewert.
The striker, 21, has made two appearances from the bench since his arrival in the last days of the January transfer window .
In Saturday's 2-1 loss at home to Arsenal he came on in the 83rd minute and went on to claim Town's late consolation goal - although it was ultimately given as a Sead Kolasinac own goal.
Huddersfield Town head coach Jan Siewert was asked after the game at the John Smith's Stadium whether Grant was in line for a starting position soon.
The German responded: "To be fair the most important thing for Karlan is that we give him time.
"We know that it is very hard, even with a physical attitude.
"We give him time and don't put pressure on him because with pressure it's never easy to play.
"So give him time and as I said he will have an impact on our team - and he showed it today."
Grant, who arrived at Town in a £2m deal from Charlton Athletic last month, made his debut in the 5-0 away defeat to Chelsea on Saturday February 2.
His cameo against his boyhood club Arsenal showed glimpses of his attacking dynamism but Grant is aware he has to work hard to make an impact at this level.
He said: "It was great to come on against Arsenal and the Premier League is definitely where every boy wants to be.
His boss Jan Siewert was willing to give Grant the benefit of the doubt where his dubious goal claim was concerned.
"I also claim that it was his goal," joked Town's head coach. "Because he gave an impact on the team and he tried everything, with the whole team, to win the second half for those people that came here today.
"He shows that this is our idea of football."
