Leeds Have ‘Strong Chance’ of Signing Joe Rodon Permanently
Leeds United could consider signing Tottenham Hotspur loanee Joe Rodon at Elland Road this summer
Leeds United will look to permanently sign centre-back Joe Rodon, currently on loan from Tottenham Hotspur, heading into the 2024/25 season regardless of whether they secure promotion to the Premier League, according to TEAMtalk editor James Marshment.
The Whites are hoping to secure their place in the Championship’s top two and ensure their immediate return to the top-flight after suffering relegation at the end of last season.
Daniel Farke’s side currently sit one point clear of third-placed Ipswich Town in an automatic promotion place as they look to close down Leicester City at the top of the second-tier. Rodon has established himself as one of the Championship’s leading centre-backs whilst on loan at Elland Road.
Leeds hoping to sign Rodon permanently
The defender’s future remains a point of debate
Leeds secured the loan signing of Joe Rodon from Tottenham in August 2023, putting pen to paper on the dotted line at Elland Road until the end of the 2023/24 season. The 26-year-old has since established himself as a regular in Farke’s side, who are hoping to secure an immediate return to the Premier League following their relegation from the top-tier last term.
Given his recent form, Rodon’s stock has never been higher and has already attracted the interest of some Premier League sides. However, sources close to the player indicate he is strongly considering remaining at Leeds beyond the current campaign.
With Rodon’s contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium due to expire in the summer of 2025, Leeds have been advised that a figure between £12m and £15m could be enough to secure the defender’s signature on a permanent basis.
