Ghana winger Andre Ayew is unlikely to join his new team-mates at English Premier League side Swansea City when they start their pre-season on Sunday.
The talented player joined the Swans two weeks ago on a free transfer after ending his stay with French giants Marseille.
With the Swans starting their pre-season on Sunday, the Ghana deputy captain is unlikely to join the side with coach Garry Monk expected to give Ayew an extended break.
That is because Ayew spent most of the summer break trying to sort out his future and has only just started his holidays in Ghana.
This means he could be given more time to spend with his family even though the club's pre-season starts on Sunday.
Monk should be pretty pleased with what he sees when Swansea City's players return to work this weekend.
Swansea's staff are already back at their desks as preparations for the 2015-16 Premier League campaign gather pace.
This coming Sunday, the players will reconvene for the start of pre-season training.
And as the new kit is dished out, Monk ought to be fairly happy with the shape of his squad.
The first priority this summer was to ensure that none of Swansea's star names would be tempted away from the Liberty Stadium.
Ki Sung-Yueng was linked with Arsenal, while Jonjo Shelvey was recently touted as a target for Spurs.
Federico Fernandez has been mentioned in the same breath as Valencia, while Lukasz Fabianski was apparently on the radar for Italian heavyweights Roma.
But as things stand, there is no obvious sign of any of Swansea's top performers being tempted away ahead of the new campaign.
It seems, as Monk suggested at the time, that Martin Keown was wide of the mark when he claimed at the back-end of last season that an imminent exodus of Swansea's key men was the talk of football.
The fact they are all still around is a success for Monk and his reshaped management team.
And the good news does not end there.
After the mass changes of last summer and a relatively busy January, this transfer window was always going to be about quantity rather than quality for Swansea.
Monk set out in search of something like half-a-dozen signings.
