Roque Mesa has said he is happy to bide his time in a bid to get minutes at Swansea City - but added that he would re-evaluate his situation if it remains unchanged.

The £11million summer signing has found life tough since his switch to South Wales, with game-time proving to be at a premium for the midfielder.

Paul Clement has left him out of the last two match day squads against Huddersfield and Leicester respectively, prompting questions from supporters.

The head coach, who has eight midfielders at his disposal, has opted for others in the 28-year-old's favoured position thus far with Mesa making just one Premier League start.

The Spaniard insists he is content with life in SA1, but added a concerning caveat.

In an interview with Spanish publication Estadio Deportivo , he said: "I have not started very well in this new adventure, that is the reality.

"But I understand that it is normal. In fact, something similar happened to me in Las Palmas and I had to leave.

"Right now I do not think much about my future and it is not in my mind to return (to Spain).

"I'm focused on getting it right here.

" Playing in the Premier League is a challenge. If within two months I continue without having minutes, I may change my mind."

Mesa has featured in just three top-flight games so far - the 4-0 thrashing by Manchester United and the defeats to Watford and West Ham.

He is likely to start against Jose Mourinho's men on Tuesday night, however.

The former Las Palmas man has gone above and beyond to acclimatise to life at Fairwood, refusing to return to his homeland during the first international break of the season in order to get up to speed with the Premier League's demands.

Reports in Spain suggest that several clubs would be willing to take Mesa on loan in January.
