Ghana winger Tariqe Fosu was close to joining Swansea on transfer deadline day, but a last minute hitch prevented him from joining the Swans.
The 25-year-old was in talks with the Welsh club as he struggles to get game time with newly promoted Premier League side Brentford.
This forced him to withdraw from Ghana’s 2022 World Cup qualifiers against Ethiopia and South Africa.
However, the deal fell through and Fosu will have to wait till the winter transfer window for another shot at leaving Brentford.
He was initially expected to join the Championship side on a season long loan.
Last season, Fosu, played 49 matches as Brentford beat Swansea in the play-offs to earn promotion to the topflight.
But it seems manager Thomas Frank does not have the Ghanaian in his plans.
Fosu has played four times for Ghana scoring one goal.
