Tottenham tipped to accept ‘huge’ bid from Leeds United for Joe Rodon – expert
Joe Rodon should sign permanently for Leeds United rather than attempting to break into the Tottenham side.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, former Spurs and Rangers defender Alan Hutton suggested Ange Postecoglou’s side would look to sell the Welshman this summer as he would struggle in the club’s current set-up.
Rodon, who joined Tottenham from Swansea City in 2020 for an initial £11million, moved to Elland Road on loan for the remainder of the season last summer and has thrived under Daniel Farke.
He has been a mainstay in Leeds’ backline and has been pivotal in their impressive push for promotion and has helped them to the best defensive record in the Championship.
Joe Rodon to complete ‘£15m+’ move from Tottenham to Leeds?
Hutton feels remaining with the Whites would be Rodon’s best course of action and claimed Spurs would seek over £15million to sanction a permanent sale.
“They’ll be looking to recoup more than what they paid for him,” he told Football Insider.
“We’re talking over £15million – that’s a huge figure that would probably get it done.
“I always think that his time at Tottenham wasn’t amazing, but he’s shown what he’s capable of at Leeds.
“He’s playing good football every week and looks happy.
“He’s at a huge club in their own right, so staying could be his best route going forward.
“Do I see him breaking into that Tottenham team going forward? No.
“The way that they play with such a high line – you need to be a top, top player to do what they do well.
“It might not suit him at this moment in time.”
