The clearout at Tottenham Hotspur looks to have begun with out of favour central defender Joe Rodon on his way to Leeds United on a season-long loan deal.
The Welsh international was part of Ange Postecoglou‘s squad for the pre-season tour of Asia-Pacific but did not see
a minute of action in the fixtures against West Ham United and Lion City Sailors.
Rodon was also omitted from the Australian’s squad for Sunday’s home match against Shakhtar Donetsk and was
not part of the team which flew to Barcelona for yesterday’s 4-2 defeat in the Joan Gamper Trophy.
Joe Rodon will join Leeds United on loan
The Telegraph football reporter Mike McGrath took to social media o reveal news of the move and claimed the move
will be confirmed in the coming days.
Leeds, who suffered relegation to the Championship on the final day of last season having failed to beat Tottenham
and see other results go their way had a rude awakening to their first fixture back in England’s second tier last
weekend when they had to come from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at home to Cardiff City.
McGrath wrote on Twitter/X: “Tottenham have agreed a deal for Wales centre-back Joe Rodon to join Leeds on a
season-long loan. Formalities of deal to follow in coming days.”

With Tottenham’s dressing room becoming even more crowded, following the arrivals of Micky van de Ven and Alejo
Veliz, it was only a matter of time before some of the fringe players are sent packing for the season ahead.
Rodon’s loan spell at Rennes last season was also something of a frustration having failed to hold down a consistent
place in the starting eleven of the Ligue 1 outfit and will now look to kick-start his career back in England at Leeds.
