Wales coach Chris Coleman is confident of Ben Davies nailing down a regular start with Tottenham.
Davies kept Neil Taylor out of the Swansea team last season - making 32 starts - but Danny Rose has been the favoured left-back at Spurs so far this season.
But Coleman expect Davies to prove himself once he is handed an opportunity in north London, though concedes it may 'take time'.
"It is not always easy when you have a big move. Ben is a Swansea boy and we don't tend to be great travellers when we are young.
"But he is a top player and a great lad, he will settle in there.
"Danny Rose has not done anything wrong, but all players have a bad day, and when he does and Ben gets his chance we know he is good enough.
"Mauricio Pochettino knows his stuff, he would not have spent all that money on him otherwise.
"It may take him time but I have no doubts he will make it work and play a lot of games for Tottenham."
