Tottenham Hotspur defender Joe Rodon is reportedly expected to leave the North London club at the end of the season.
According to a report from HITC, Joe Rodon has been informed that he will be sold in the summer, and Leeds United are now keen on securing his services. The 26-year-old is currently on loan at Elland Road, and the will likely Whites decide to sign him permanently.
Rodon has been quite impressive for Leeds United, and he has been one of the best defenders in the EFL Championship this season. He will be hoping to help Leeds secure promotion back to the Premier League and then sort out his long-term future.
The Welsh international does not have a future at Tottenham. So, returning to the North London club will not be an appealing option for him. Meanwhile, recent reports have claimed that Joe Rodon wants a permanent move to Leeds United.
He needs to play regularly at this stage of his career and staying at Leeds would be ideal for him. He is highly rated at the club and he is a valued member of the starting lineup. If Leeds return to the Premier League, he could play regularly for them in the top flight. The Whites can potentially sign him for a reasonable price in the summer.
Joe Rodon needs to leave Tottenham
Spurs have already improved their defensive unit by signing Micky van de Ven, Radu Dragusin, and Ashley Phillips this season. They will not be able to accommodate Rodon in the starting lineup, and it makes sense for them to let the player leave permanently.
The defender is at a stage of his career where he cannot afford to sit on the bench every week. So, sorting out his permanent exit will be the priority for Rodon as well. Meanwhile, Leeds United will be hoping to do well in the Premier League next season if they manage to secure promotion in the summer.
They need to hold on to their best players, and keeping Joe Rodon at the club beyond this season will be one of their priorities. He is undoubtedly an indispensable asset for them right now.
Tottenham are pushing for Champions League qualification themselves, and it will be interesting to see if they can finish in the top four. Spurs will look to improve their squad during the summer transfer window and they could certainly use the funds from the departure of fringe players.
Selling players like Joe Rodon will allow Tottenham to improve their squad and add more depth. They need a bigger squad in order to do well in the Premier League as well as the Champions League next season.
