should move for Joe Rodon at Spurs after Leeds success
Joe Rodon feels unlikely to join Leeds after they couldn’t secure promotion so Ipswich Town should target the defender
Leeds United’s play-off defeat impacts their chances of signing Joe Rodon, potentially benefiting Ipswich Town in their pursuit.
Rodon’s success at Leeds showcases his worth as a defender, making him an attractive target for clubs like Ipswich in need of defensive improvements.
Ipswich must capitalise on Rodon’s uncertain situation at Tottenham to bolster their backline in preparation for the Premier League challenge ahead.
Leeds United’s defeat in the play-off final was not only a dampener to their attempts to return to the Premier League but also decreased their chances of signing Tottenham’s Joe Rodon.
The defender has enjoyed a brilliant season for Daniel Farke’s side, being part of one of the meanest defences in the division.
However, the misfortune for Leeds can be taken advantage of by Ipswich Town, with their promotion to the top tier. They will be looking to make additions and Rodon could be the perfect place to start.
Joe Rodon’s brilliant season at Leeds
Having made his name at Swansea City, Joe Rodon has always struggled to prove himself since signing for Tottenham Hotspur in 2020. In his three and a half years in London, he has made just 24 appearances and hasn’t been able to show his true colours under various managers.
However, the previous season’s loan move to Leeds revived his career, and he proved his worth in one of the Championship’s top sides.
Appearing 50 times in all competitions for the Whites, he has conceded just 45 goals in that time and has displayed why he was held in such high regard at Swansea.
Additionally, as per FotMob, in the majority of defensive and passing stats, he is in the top 20 percentile of defenders in the Championship and could likely transform this back to Premier League football.

For fans of the Yorkshire club, it will be disappointing to not see Rodon starting alongside Ethan Ampadu next season. His valuation of £15 million is rather expensive for a Championship club that still reportedly owes £116 million in unpaid transfer fees.
