Report: Spurs linked with potential swap deal to land £30m-rated midfielder
Tottenham Hotspur are likely to have a busy window of summer activity with not only fresh faces set to arrive, but also those who need to head out of the door as part of Ange Postecoglou’s rebuild.
Joe Rodon could be a makeweight in transfer deal
According to journalist Alan Nixon, Tottenham are willing to use Joe Rodon as a makeweight in a deal to sign Southampton midfielder Carlos Alcaraz.
It was reported last week by Football Insider that all three newly promoted Premier League clubs are keen on landing Rodon, who is alleged to be valued at £10m by Spurs.
Meanwhile, The Sun claimed last week that Saints midfielder Alcaraz, who spent last season out on loan at Juventus, had emerged as a target for the Lilywhites.
The report claimed that the South Coast club were open to selling the 21-year-old midfielder for a fee of around £30m as they wish to raise funds to pursue their own transfer targets.
Tottenham are keen on Southampton’s Carlos Alcaraz
Nixon has now also taken to social media to confirm that Tottenham have their eye on the Argentine.
The journalist claimed that the North London club are hoping to send Rodon to the South Coast as a part of the deal to bring Alcaraz to N17.
Nixon elaborated further in his piece for The Sun where he suggested both sides will have to work on their valuations with Alcaraz considered to be worth around £30m by the Saints.
Alcarez spent the second half of last season on loan at Juventus where he made 12 appearances and provided one assist across all competitions for the Serie A giants.

I can understand why Ange would want Alacaraz as the Argentine is extremely versatile and could take the squad place expected to be vacated by his compatriot, Giovani Lo Celso, who looks likely to depart Hotspur Way this summer.
Rodon is surplus to requirements within the Tottenham first team squad and if it means he is used as makeweight to lower the transfer fee, it will represent good business for the club.
