Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino insists he will remain patient with DeAndre Yedlin.
The speedy full-back signed with Spurs from MLS club Seattle Sounders in August 2014 before officially joining the north London outfit in January.
There are high expectations of Yedlin in the USA but Pochettino says the 12-time US international still needs to adjust to English football before he can make an impact in the Premier League with Spurs.
"DeAndre only recently arrived in London, and like all young players needs to go through an adaption period, where he gets to know a new way and new culture," Pochettino told FutbolMLS.com.
"We have to work this transition carefully and slowly, giving him the necessary time to be able to acclimate on and off the field. Then, he will be able to show off his qualities.
"But it's obvious that if he's here, it's because we expect much from him."
Pochettino, who is certainly excited about the 21-year old, added: "We knew he was a player with lots of potential, who's already done some interesting things in MLS and has additionally played in the last World Cup."
