West Bromwich Albion striker Shane Long believes that Wes Hoolahan will be a "handful" when the Baggies meet Norwich City on Saturday.
Long and Hoolahan have trained together for the Republic of Ireland and Long has insisted that the midfielder displayed enough ability to mark him out as a threat to West Bromwich Albion's backline.
Long told reporters: "I've only seen Wes in training, but he never gives the ball away. He's really nippy on the ball and is good with the ball at his feet and dribbling.
"He likes to set other people up to score so he's obviously going to be a threat at the weekend.
"He likes to play in behind the striker, like Mozza (James Morrison) does for us. He's a handful – but I'll let the defenders worry about him."
Long will be hoping that his side can register their first win in five games against the Canaries.
