# Leeds United: Joe Rodon update emerges

**Tottenham are reportedly willing to sell [Leeds](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/)-linked defender Joe Rodon this summer.**

### The Lowdown: Leeds interest

Rodon, labelled as [‘flawless’ and ‘special’ in a Wales shirt](https://twitter.com/ianmitchelmore/status/1374837759702097932?s=21) by journalist Ian Mitchelmore, was [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-transfer-rumours/joe-rodon-tottenham-newcastle-premier-league/) with a move to Elland Road in the January window.

Victor Orta and co. were keen on his services in a potential loan deal alongside [Newcastle](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-transfer-rumours/joe-rodon-tottenham-newcastle-premier-league/), however, the Wales international remained in north London.

Antonio Conte is [yet](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joe-rodon/leistungsdaten/spieler/297212) to use the 24-year-old in the Premier League, and it looks as if a Spurs exit will be discussed once again over the coming months given he is so far down the pecking order.

### The Latest: Rodon update

[TEAMtalk](https://www.teamtalk.com/tottenham-hotspur/joe-rodon-leeds-newcastle-on-alert-amid-reports-antonio-conte-willing-sell-fringe-spurs-player) relayed an update from [The Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/04/20/antonio-conte-targets-six-summer-signings-spurs-face-homegrown/), suggesting that Conte is willing to green-light an exit for the centre-back this summer.

Their report claims that Leeds and Newcastle are once again on alert regarding the Wales centre-back and both could be interested in a summer swoop.

### The Verdict: Orta target?

Jesse Marsch currently has [five](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leeds-united/kader/verein/399) centre-back options, however, he has taken over the league’s leakiest defence and is thought to be planning a [defensive overhaul](https://www.footballinsider247.com/leeds-united-koch-offers/).

Robin Koch has been [linked](https://www.footballinsider247.com/leeds-united-koch-offers/) with an exit in recent weeks, so should he depart this summer, a new centre-back would more than likely be on his radar.

Orta clearly wants Rodon at Elland Road given the interest under two different managers, so a move could be one to keep a close eye on, providing Leeds remain in the Premier League.
