Tottenham ‘don’t fancy’ center-back Joe Rodon, which means Leeds United has a fantastic chance to capture him on a permanent basis this summer. Rather than bringing the Wales international into the first team, Ange Postecoglou sent him to Elland Road on a season-long loan. With 30 Championship games this season and 13 clean sheets to his credit, Rodon has really settled in at Leeds.
Despite his recent success, rumours have it that Postecoglou is prepared to let him go at the conclusion of the season because he is not part of Tottenham’s long-term plans. Leeds would be thrilled to sign him to a long-term contract, so this is excellent news. There is no doubt we are more than happy with Joe,” Whites manager Daniel Farke stated at a press conference last month. You can tell how much wearing this white shirt means to him as he grows more and more into a leader role in this group. He is really important. We couldn’t be happier. Although it is not an urgent topic right now, we would like him to stay for a little while longer.
John Wenham, a Tottenham transfer analyst, believes that Rodon’s summertime sale by Tottenham is all but certain. Leeds, in his opinion, is the most likely place for him to end up. Rodon will probably be sold this summer, Wenham said to Tottenham News. Five different Tottenham managers have looked at Rodon and didn’t think highly of him.
I think he could get a fee of about £15 million, which would be good business because his value was at an all-time low in the summer. It would be a move that makes sense for all parties involved. I anticipate that deal will be made permanent because he has been a great addition to Leeds and this loan has really helped him demonstrate his quality. As previously said, Leeds is eager to sign Rodon and will undoubtedly make every effort to match his £15 million asking price.
In the event that Leeds is promoted back into the Premier League, signing the defender will become even more feasible. They are now two goals ahead of Ipswich Town in third place in the Championship table, although only by a narrow margin.
