Report: Spurs expected to sign for Joe Rodon for £13m despite Leicester interest

By Jordan Harris

Tottenham Hotspur are expected to reach a compromise with Swansea City that sees Joe Rodon move to North London for just £13 million, according to the Daily Mail.

Rodon has been heavily linked with Spurs throughout the last week. The Daily Mail reported on Monday that Jose Mourinho’s men had bid £7 million for the Wales international, who the Swans valued at £18 million.

The distance in valuations arguably looked quite ominous for Tottenham. And it should also be noted that they are not the only team monitoring the 22-year-old.

The Sun has suggested that Leicester City are keen on the centre-back. However, the Foxes are looking to try and do a deal in January or next summer.

But it would seem that Rodon is likely to be off the market by then.

According to the Mail, Spurs and Swansea are expected to agree a £13 million move before the transfer window shuts on Friday.

It is also stated that Cameron Carter-Vickers will then be allowed to leave on loan. Bournemouth are the club in pole position to sign the USA international.

TBR View: Rodon could prove a steal at £13 million

It would be quite surprising if Swansea sold Rodon for just £13 million. He looks to be a superb talent with an incredibly bright future ahead.

Plenty of Tottenham fans were hugely impressed by what they saw as he played the first-half against England at Wembley this week.

He was composed on the ball and played some superb passes for Ryan Giggs’s men.

He may not be the finished article just yet. But for £13 million, it is a no-brainer for Spurs to make sure they get a deal across the line.
