Sevilla defender Timothee Kolodziejczak has paid tribute to his teammates for helping him settle in Spain this season.

The 23-year-old joined Sevilla from Nice last summer and initially struggled to adapt to life in La Liga.

The centre-back has worked his way into the team in recent weeks, however, with his form drawing a host of admiring glances.

"All of the players have helped me a lot in terms of settling in, but especially those who speak French," Kolodziejczak told SFCTV. "I still speak with the Spanish players though.

"[Alejandro] Arribas has been important for me – I've learnt a lot from him and I'm grateful for his help. I'm also close to Nico [Pareja] and Daniel [Carrico]."

The Frenchman started his professional career at Lyon.
