Report: Spurs could use Joe Rodon as makeweight in deal to sign attacker 

The Daily Express have claimed that Tottenham Hotspur could offer Joe Rodon to Leeds United as part of a deal to sign winger Wilfried Gnonto in January.

Gnonto impressed in his debut Premier League season last term and it was reported during the summer transfer window that the 20-year-old was on Tottenham’s radar (LondonWorld), with some outlets even suggesting at the time that he was keen on leaving Elland Road (Telegraph).

However, while Leeds managed to hold on to the versatile attacker but he has not been a regular in Daniel Farke’s starting eleven so far this season (Transfermarkt). 

Tottenham swap plan for Joe Rodon and Gnonto

The Express have now suggested that given the injuries Ange Postecoglou has had to contend with in his forward line, the Lilywhites could reignite their interest in Gnoto in January.

The report reveals that Spurs could offer Rodon, who has excelled on loan at Elland Road, to the Whites as part of the deal to sign the Italy international.

The publication adds that Gnoto is also attracting interest from Italy, with Lazio and Roma prepared to offer the youngster a route back to Serie A.

Gnoto is the type of player Ange would love working with, given his age, aggression, versatility and directness. The Australian might fancy his chances of getting the best out of the 20-year-old and one would think the chance to sign Rodon permanently would be quite tempting for Leeds.
