Renato Sanches must merit his Swansea place as head coach Paul Clement has revealed there is no deal with Bayern Munich to guarantee the Portugal star game time.
Swansea pulled off one of the transfer shocks of summer by landing the Euro 2016 winner on a season-long loan from the Bundesliga champions on deadline day.
Bayern signed Sanches from Benfica for £27.5million in May 2016, but agreed to send the 20-year-old out on loan after he made just 26 appearances last season.
Chelsea, Juventus, Liverpool and Monaco were all linked with permanent moves for the midfielder, but Bayern were only keen on a loan arrangement and Clement, their former assistant coach, used his connections in Bavaria to complete the deal.
