According to reports from football.london, Premier League clubs are expressing interest in Tottenham defender Joe Rodon, with Ipswich, Leicester, and Southampton reportedly in pursuit of the 26-year-old Wales international. Rodon, who had a successful loan season at Leeds United, has garnered attention in the transfer market.
Despite his accomplishments in the Championship, Rodon is not included in the plans of Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou. Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna has previously shown interest in signing Rodon and is expected to pursue him again this summer. In addition, both Leicester and Southampton, the two clubs promoted to the Premier League, are eager to secure the talented centre-back.
Leicester had already expressed interest in Rodon before the departure of their former manager Enzo Maresca to Chelsea. With the Foxes’ recruitment team expressing a liking for Rodon, their interest could continue if Graham Potter, Rodon’s former boss at Swansea, takes over as the new manager. Furthermore, Southampton, who defeated Leeds in the play-off final, are believed to have shown interest in the Welsh defender.
Despite growing interest from other Premier League clubs, Tottenham recently exercised the final year option in Rodon’s contract, keeping him with the club until 2025. This decision was made to secure his commitment to the north London club, even as Leeds expressed a desire to bring the defender back for another season in the Championship.
Rodon is expected to join a defensive exodus from Tottenham, with the departures of Eric Dier, Japhet Tanganga, Ryan Sessegnon, Djed Spence, Sergio Reguilon, and potentially Emerson Royal, who is attracting interest from AC Milan.
As multiple Premier League clubs express interest in signing the talented defender, the future of Joe Rodon remains uncertain. It will be intriguing to see which club he chooses for the next stage of his career. Stay tuned for more updates on this compelling transfer saga.
