Report: Premier League club interested in January deal for Spurs defender

Brighton and Hove Albion have shown interest in snapping up Joe Rodon during the January transfer window, The Times have revealed.

Rodon has not had a regular run in the Tottenham starting eleven since his move from Swansea City a year and a half ago.

The 24-year-old is yet to start a Premier League game since Antonio Conte took over at Spurs at the start of November, with his only start under the Italian coming in Tottenham’s 2-1 defeat to NS Mura in the Europa Conference League.

Conte admitted last week that he sees the Wales international as a backup for Eric Dier in the central sweeper position in his back three.

Football.London’s Alasdair Gold has revealed that Rodon is frustrated by a lack of game time and is open to leaving on loan in January.

This information has been corroborated by Football Insider, who claim the 24-year-old is now ‘100 per cent’ set on securing a move away from the club in the winter, whether it be a permanent or a temporary one.

The Times have now claimed that Brighton could be a potential destination for Rodon in January. Graham Potter, who worked with the centre-back at Swansea in the 2018-19 season, is said to want to reunite with the Spurs man at the Amex Stadium.

Spurs Web Opinion

If Spurs do sign a central defender in January, which I expect them to, then it would be ideal to loan Joe Rodon out. Selling the 24-year-old might be a mistake as we do not know what he is capable of when given a run in the side.

A six-month spell at Brighton could be ideal for him as he would have the chance to demonstrate that he can perform consistently in the Premier League.
