Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly already determined Joe Rodon's valuation ahead of the summer transfer window.

When the centre-back made the switch from Swansea City to North London in October 2020, the anticipation was that he would challenge for a first-team role at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Instead, Rodon has been restricted to just 14 starts and 10 substitute outings in all competitions having failed to make a sustained impact under the likes of Nuno Espirito Santo and Antonio Conte.

Although he made 21 appearances during a loan stint with Rennes during the 2022-23 campaign, it was not enough to win over Ange Postecoglou upon his arrival.

A decision was made relatively quickly over a fresh loan exit for the Wales international, who is spending the season in the Championship with Leeds United.

Daniel Farke can only have been left delighted with the performances of 26-year-old Rodon, who has made 31 appearances in all competitions during his time at Elland Road.

However, it has also arguably complicated matters in terms of Spurs attracting suitable bids in the summer, as Rodon has only made eight starts in the Premier League.

As it stands, Football Insider claims that Spurs are ready to demand in excess of £10m for the signature of Rodon.

The report suggests that Spurs are not against holding out for as much as £15m for a player who allegedly cost in the region of £11m.

Furthermore, a number of Premier League teams were allegedly put off by Spurs' stance when they made enquiries during the January transfer window.

Leeds do not possess an option to automatically sign Rodon on a permanent deal and would be reliant on earning promotion to the Premier League.

The Yorkshire giants possess the second-best defensive record in the Championship, with Rodon having started 27 of their 31 fixtures in the second tier.

Rodon has a contract at Spurs until the end of the 2024-25 and there is no prospect of a renewal at this stage. body check tags ::
