Report: Four clubs show an interest in signing out-of-favour Tottenham player

Leeds United may be keen on keeping Joe Rodon at the club permanently, but the Tottenham defender has a lot of interest from a number of Premier League clubs heading into the summer transfer window.

What next for Joe Rodon at Tottenham?

Rodon is coming off the back of a brilliant season with Leeds in the Championship, making 50 appearances for the Yorkshire side as they came within one game of securing promotion back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.

Leeds lost in the play-off final to Southampton, leaving Rodon’s future in doubt. It is well known that Leeds are hoping to keep hold of the defender, but they needed promotion to improve the chances of that happening (Football Insider).

Tottenham are thought to regard Rodon as surplus to requirements, but they did just activate a one-year contract extension to ensure they receive a fee for the player this summer (Football.London).

It has previously been suggested that multiple Premier League clubs are ready to offer Rodon a route back to the top flight (Daily Mail).

Leeds are not in a good position to sign Rodon

Now, a report from Football.London sheds some light on that interest from the Premier League, and where Leeds stand now.

It is said Rodon will be part of a “defensive exodus” at Tottenham this summer, with Ipswich, Leicester and Southampton among those that have shown an interest in the Welshman.

Now a “man in demand,” it is believed Ipswich have held a “strong interest” in Rodon since last summer, while Leicester’s recruitment team are “keen” on the centre-half. Southampton have reportedly “signalled their interest,” too.

There are “a string of further Premier League clubs” monitoring the situation, and while Leeds “remain in the mix,” the failure to gain promotion and the subsequent financial impact on the club means they are no longer in a “strong position” when it comes to this particular deal.

Spurs Web Opinion

Whichever club ends up getting Rodon this summer, they’re going to get a top defender and it’s only just that he gets to show what he can do in the Premier League finally.
