West Bromwich Albion midfielder Alex Mowatt says he is "shocked" how good new rookie head coach Ryan Mason is at getting his ideas across to the players.
Mason is getting to know his squad as they prepare for the new Championship season at their training camp in Austria.
The Baggies job is former Tottenham coach Mason's first full-time management role and Mowatt said the ex-England midfielder has been very impressive.
"It's shocked me how good he's been at getting his message across," Mowatt, 30, told BBC Radio WM.
"It helps massively. The training's been good and he's high on standards.
