Tottenham loanee Joe Rodon is eyeing a continued stint with Championship side Leeds United for the upcoming season.
Since joining Elland Road on loan from North London in the summer, the Welsh centre-back has been thoroughly relishing his time.
Recent developments indicate that Rodon is eager to part ways with his parent club, Spurs, should his current club, Leeds, secure promotion to the Premier League.
Club insider and lawyer John Wenham has strongly advised the Lilywhites’ chairman Daniel Levy to offload Rodon in the upcoming transfer window for whatever fee they can secure.
The 26-year-old has been a consistent presence in the Whites’ lineup this season, featuring in the starting XI for 33 out of his 34 appearances in the Championship. (Transfermarkt)
With a significant contribution to Leeds’ push for a return to the top flight, Wenham believes that Levy should heed any offers for Rodon and sell him, demonstrating a lesson learned from past mistakes.
Wenham told Tottenham News:
“Tottenham’s decision to sell Rodon this summer will be down to whether or not Levy has learned from his past mistakes.
“Do Spurs want to actually continue with this rebuild or do they want to dig their heels in and try and get more money for Rodon?
“I think they would be doing well to receive a fee of anywhere between £10-13million, and should just accept any deal in this range.
“It is a far higher fee than they would have got last summer after Rodon’s unsuccessful loan spell in France with Stade Rennais F.C.”
TBH Says:
Wenham is right. Tottenham should not prioritise a few extra million and should instead accept Leeds’ forthcoming offer, even if it is slightly less than his valuation, specially considering Rodon isn’t even part of Postecoglou’s plans.
