Tigers defender backs Ayala

Hull City defender Andy Dawson has backed loanee Daniel Ayala to become a future Premier League star. The 19-year-old Spaniard has extended his loan spell from Liverpool until January after a successful start to his stint with City. "Daniel is a very, very good player," Dawson told the Hull Daily Mail. "He's got the makings of a Premier League defender, without a shadow of doubt. "He's got a lot of quality and in time I'm sure he'll go back to Liverpool and cement his place there. It would be nice to keep him here for the season and I think that would be good for him as well. "His first few performances have been fantastic and I'm sure he's learning all the time by playing regular football."
