West Bromwich Albion signed midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak from PSG during the summer transfer window.
Krychowiak was the highest profile of West Brom’s summer recruits, and he has impressed since arriving from PSG.
However, Pulis claims that it could be another two months before Krychowiak starts showing his very top form at the Hawthorns.
“I still think it’s going to take another month or two to get to the level where we want him,” Pulis said.
“He had such a long period off and let’s not forget he actually lost his place in the Poland side as well from not playing.
“So he was getting no game time whatsoever.
“He’s found it difficult and the pace of the games week in week out extraordinary if you speak to him.
“Every game is a tough game.”
Krychowiak has been a mainstay in West Brom’s team so far this season, with the Polish international catching the eye.
Krychowiak has offered West Brom further steel in midfield, but he has also shown his technical ability.
West Brom will be relying on Krychowiak to keep up his strong form after the international break, as Pulis’ side look to get a winning run going.
The Baggies have been victorious just twice in their last 16 matches, in a record stretching back to last season.
West Brom return to action on the 16th October, when they take on struggling Leicester City.
