Tottenham Hotspur are expecting a bidding war to potentially unfold this summer for defender Joe Rodon.

The Welsh defender has spent the season away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with Championship side Leeds United.

And it seems he is a player who may not feature under Ange Postecoglou at all in the future.

Joe Rodon’s Tottenham future

Joe Rodon has spent yet another spell away from north London on loan. This time it has been in the comfort of remaining in the United Kingdom after spending time away with Rennes.

And it is a loan deal which has done the 26-year-old a world of good after becoming a real key figure in Daniel Farke’s plans.

He has already racked up 33 starts in the Championship this term as Leeds look to bounce straight back to the Premier League.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, journalist Alasdair Gold says a bidding war could be expected for the Wales international this summer.

He said: “One of the Championship’s top defenders. Spurs are going to have no issues selling him next summer. If anything, it’s going to be complete the opposite in terms of they might be able to have a little bit of a bidding war. If enough clubs come in for him. So yeah, that’s fantastic. Great news for Joe Rodon.”

Tottenham’s defensive options

Rodon’s development at Leeds is only a good thing for Tottenham ahead of the summer market.

The 26-year-old has already suggested that he would be keen to remain in Yorkshire ahead of next season.

Postecoglou never used Rodon before he was sent out on loan to Leeds over the summer.

But his improved performances will only help boost Tottenham’s asking price for the upcoming window.

Postecoglou now has some serious competition for places at centre-back with Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven impressing massively this season.

And now the 58-year-old has Radu Dragusin to select at the back, as well.

The Spurs News has been told that Tottenham are still monitoring the centre-back market ahead of the summer with two potential free agents on their radar.

Daniel Levy could now see between £15m-£20m come into the club over the summer which would certainly boost funds for any defensive additions in the months to come.

It is a shame Rodon’s time at Spurs didn’t work out as it is clear – from his time with Leeds – there is a real talent there.

If Rodon is sold in the summer, and to a Premier League side, it will be interesting to see how he fairs in the top flight.
