Leeds United Face Stiff Competition for Key Target
Leeds United’s hopes of re-signing Tottenham Hotspur defender Joe Rodon on loan have been dealt a blow, as the Welshman has attracted interest from Premier League clubs this summer. According to The Athletic, Rodon’s impressive displays at Leeds last season have led to interest from top-flight clubs.

Rodon had an impressive loan spell at Leeds last season, where he formed a solid partnership with Ethan Ampadu at the heart of the Whites’ defence. However, Leeds’ defeat in the Championship playoff final has forced the club to reassess their transfer plans for the summer.
Tottenham have taken up the option of extending Rodon’s contract by one more year, and Leeds are interested in re-signing him on loan once again. However, if Tottenham want to sell him, the Welshman would likely be beyond Leeds’ financial means.
