It could take £1m London City Lionesses signing Grace Geyoro until December before she is up to speed in the Women's Super League, says manager Jocelyn Precheur.
France midfielder Geyoro joined the newly promoted Lionesses on transfer deadline day on 4 September.
Geyoro has yet to register a goal or assist in four games for the Lionesses, who have six points from five league matches.
"We knew it would need two or three months for her to be totally ready in a new league," Precheur told BBC Sport.
"She had a long break from the end of Euro 2025 to joining us. We knew when she arrived she needed to start conditioning from scratch.
"She wants to adapt as soon as possible to bring to the team everything she can."
Geyoro, 28, had spent her career at Paris St-Germain before joining the Lionesses, winning the league title and twice reaching the Champions League final.
