The journalist offers two reasons why the English side are favorites to sign the Spurs player – The Spurs Web

Journalist Graham Smyth believes Joe Rodon is likely to make it back to Elland Road, insisting Leeds United have some big advantages over the other clubs in the race for the Tottenham man.

Joe Rodon had a great season at Leeds last year

Since Leeds’ play-off final defeat by Southampton, various outlets have discounted their chances of landing Rodon permanently, with reports over the past week suggesting the defender is more likely to land at a Premier League side.

That includes an update from Football Insider, who suggested all three newly promoted Premier League clubs are keen to land the 26-year-old, who is valued at £10m.

Football.London also reported something similar, stating that Leicester City are particularly keen on the Wales international, with the club’s recruitment team said to be admirers of the Spurs man.

Could Joe Rodon return to Leeds?

However, Smyth has now noted that Rodon felt completely at home at Leeds last season and the centre-back will feel he has some unfinished business with Daniel Farke’s mane after failing to get them promoted.

The journalist said on the Inside Elland Road Podcast: “The Rodon thing could be quite prolonged because I don’t think there will be a loan if they go for him. There will be others who want him too and they will have to put together a really solid case.

“Part of their strong case will be that he wants to be here (at Leeds) because by all accounts last season he felt he had found a home at Elland Road. That will weigh massively in Leeds’ favour, although I’m not saying money doesn’t talk and Premier League status doesn’t.

“But I definitely think when at least two of your best friends in your international team and all the friends you made last season, it was very close with Archie Gray and two others.

“While I’m still at Leeds, knock on wood, then why not come back and have a fun second year to get the job done. He strikes me as a ‘I want to do my job and get it done’ type of guy.”

Spurs Web Opinion

This seems wishful thinking by a journalist who supports Leeds.

While Rodon would have felt right at home at Elland Road, I doubt he would reject offers from the Premier League in favor of a return to the Championship side, especially as the Yorkshire club would first have to sell players before a- and could at least afford a deal for the center. -back.
