The 21-year-old French-Portuguese midfielder moved to Kenilworth Road on a contract to the end of the season this week.
Viana, who has represented Portugal at U17, U18 and U19 levels, started life at RC Strasbourg B, before moving to Spanish giants Atlético Madrid.

Still said: “I don’t think it will be (a struggle), because of his age.
“It’s not like he’s 26 and it might take him a year, he’s 21.
“So if it takes him a year to adapt, he’s got all that time in front of him.”

The boss also didn’t rule out any further signings, particularly in defensive areas, while confirmed once his squad was fully fit, he will start looking to loan out his fringe players.
