Leeds United have been given a major lift in their quest to turn Joe Rodon’s loan at Elland Road into a permanent deal sources have told TEAMtalk and following Daniel Levy being given some strong advise over his sale.
The 26-year-old joined the Championship promotion hopefuls at the start of the season after being told he has no prospects of playing first-team football under Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham.
And having had something of a nomadic career so far, the move to West Yorkshire has already proved a hugely-successful one for both Rodon and Leeds.
Indeed, Rodon has made himself an immovable object on the Whites’ teamsheet, proving an absolute revelation in the heart of their defence and forming an outstanding understanding alongside international teammate Ethan Ampadu.
That partnership has seen Leeds embark on an incredible run of form that has seen them chop Leicester’s 17-point advantage over them to just three points.
Having won 11 of their 12 league games of 2024 so far, Leeds have conceded just three goals this year – just one from open play – and have the chance to go top of the table on Sunday when they host Millwall at Elland Road.
Leicester’s focus next weekend is on their FA Cup quarter-final clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
As a result of Leeds’ and Rodon’s glowing form, calls to turn his loan move to Leeds into a permanent deal have intensified in recent weeks.
The move that took the 37-times capped Wales international to Elland Road did not contain an option to buy.
Given his form this season, demand for Rodon’s services has never been higher with the player attracting attention from a number of clubs already ahead of the summer window and from some whom are currently Premier League sides.
