“Loan Spell over and will likely not play for Leeds anymore” Sources now reveal Leeds United loanee is now closer to joining EPL side over possible Elland Road return despite Daniel Farke’s high Hope on keeping him.
Joe Rodon, a 26-year-old defender who spent last season on loan at Leeds United from Tottenham Hotspur, is reportedly likely to make a move to a Premier League club rather than return to Leeds.
During his time at Leeds, Rodon was a crucial part of the defense, forming strong partnerships with Pascal Struijk and Ethan Ampadu. He made 50 appearances for the club, including playing in the Championship play-off final at Wembley.
While Leeds are interested in bringing Rodon back, Football Insider suggests he’s more likely to secure a Premier League move. The newly-promoted teams Leicester City, Ipswich Town, and Southampton have all shown interest in the Welsh international.
If Rodon doesn’t return to Leeds, it would be disappointing for fans who hoped to see him play for the club again. However, given his impressive performances, it would be understandable if he chose to play in the Premier League.
Rodon may not be the only player leaving Leeds, as there are rumors about potential departures of other key players like Crysencio Summerville and Ilia Gruev. If Summerville leaves, it could bring in a significant transfer fee for Leeds, which could help with financial fair play rules and potentially fund new signings.
This situation reflects the broader transfer dynamics at Leeds, balancing the desire to retain top performers with the financial realities of the transfer market and the allure of Premier League football for players.
