Report: Southampton and Ipswich Town could battle to sign Tottenham player

TEAMtalk have claimed that Southampton and Ipswich Town have both expressed an interest in signing Joe Rodon from Tottenham Hotspur.

Joe Rodon is a popular target this summer

The report says that Rodon loved his loan spell at Leeds and would love to move to the club on a permanent basis if an opportunity presented itself despite the side’s failure to win promotion to the top flight.

It is explained that Daniel Farke’s men have not given up hope of landing the centre-back but the deal would be difficult for them to complete.

Firstly, it is revealed that they would have to sell before they can buy and Tottenham’s £12m to £15m price tag would be hard for them to meet.

Additionally, Leeds are also having to contend with competition from the Premier League for the Wales international.

Southampton and Ipswich both like Joe Rodon

It is explained that Southampton, who beat Farke’s men in the playoff final, as well as Ipswich have both expressed an interest in a deal for Rodon.

In addition to those clubs, it is said that former Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho could look to take the 26-year-old to Fenerbahce this summer.

Spurs Web Opinion

While Rodon might prefer to return to Leeds, he likely would not want to wait around until the Championship club can raise sufficient funds to pursue him, particularly when he is attracting interest from Premier League sides.

Whatever happens, it seems Spurs won’t have any problem getting decent money for Rodon this summer, which is good news.
