Leeds United transfer news: Tottenham’s new Joe Rodon asking price revealed – sources
Leeds United will have to pay a big fee to Tottenham for Joe Rodon’s loan to become a permanent deal
Tottenham are looking for between £10-15million to sell Leeds United loanee Joe Rodon next summer, sources have told Football Insider.
It is believed that multiple Premier League clubs enquired about the centre-back in the January transfer window but were put off by Spurs’ valuation.
Well-placed sources have told Football Insider that Ange Postecoglou’s side are eager to cash in on Rodon, who is not in the Lilywhite’s long-term plans.
Football Insider revealed (9 February) that the Whites are very eager to keep the Welshman at the club permanently, but would struggle to secure him unless they achieve promotion back to the Premier League.
Tottenham’s valuation would not pose a problem for Leeds should they get promoted, but remaining in the second tier would prove a significant issue in convincing the Wales international to stay.
He moved to Elland Road on a season-long loan from Tottenham last summer, but the deal did not include an option to buy.
Daniel Farke’s side could also face competition from top-tier clubs to sign the 26-year-old next summer after his standout performances in the Championship this season.
Rodon has made 31 appearances in all competitions for Leeds, keeping 12 clean sheets in the league.
He has been crucial for Leeds in achieving the second-best defensive record in the Championship so far this season, with only league leaders Leicester City ahead of them.
Leeds sit third in the Championship table following their 3-0 win against Rotherham United on Saturday (10 February).
They are next in action away against Swansea City on Tuesday evening (13 February).
