Tottenham star set for exit after deal is ‘agreed’ with Leeds United and medical booked for £11m star

Tottenham have agreed a deal with Leeds United to loan Wales defender Joe Rodon for the 2023/2024 season after he returned on loan from Rennes in France this summer.

Rodon’s signing will be a massive statement for the Championship side who already have Daniel James and Ethan Ampadu in their ranks. Rodon would come in at an opportune time too, with Leeds skipper Liam Cooper ruled out for up to eight weeks with a foot injury following their 2-2 draw with Cardiff City over the weekend.

The former Swansea defender has struggled for game time since signing for a reported £11million under Jose Mourinho and will see this as an opportunity to get his career going again in English football.

Tottenham have just confirmed the signing of Micky van de Ven from Wolfsburg for an initial £34million fee, and with the likes of Romero, Eric Dier and Davinson Sanchez still at the club, there is a feeling that going away on loan is the best for the 25-year-old defender who was once tipped to be one of the best in the world by Gareth Bale.

New manager Ange Postecoglou has been keen on getting new faces in as he looks to start his Tottenham journey against Brentford this week, but the move which has seen Rodon travel to Yorkshire for his medical could be the one that creates space for the new boss.

Leeds themselves are looking to get back straight in the Premier League after going down last season and with Daniel Farke’s side getting a player who can improves the weakest side of his team, the player gets minutes that he would not have gotten at north London and Tottenham keeping him in the transfer window for potential buyers.
