Ipswich Town has made a verbal offer to Tottenham Hotspur for defender Joe Rodon, according to Alasdair Gold. Meanwhile, Leeds United is preparing for another year in the Championship after finishing third last season, just behind Ipswich Town and Leicester City, who both secured automatic promotion. Daniel Farke’s side lost in the play-off final to Southampton, meaning they will spend at least another season in the second tier.
Rodon, 26, was on loan at Elland Road last season, where he played 46 Championship games and made four FA Cup appearances for Leeds United. Since joining Spurs in the 2020/21 season, he has only featured in 15 Premier League matches, indicating that his time at the club may be coming to an end.
Both Leeds United and Leicester City have expressed interest in the Welsh defender this summer. However, it is Ipswich Town that has made a verbal offer for Rodon. Although the offer from Kieran McKenna’s side is not yet formal, their proactive approach this summer might push Leeds United and Leicester City to act quickly if they want to secure Rodon. Ipswich Town is making significant moves this summer to strengthen their squad and maintain their top-flight status. Their latest signing, Omari Hutchinson, demonstrates their ambitious intent.
Leeds United, in need of defensive reinforcements, would find Rodon an ideal addition. While the deal isn’t finalized, Ipswich Town appears to be ahead in the race. Their aggressive summer activity and recent signings reflect their determination to build on their momentum as they enter their third season of progress.
