# Tottenham Hotspur: Michael Bridge makes Joe Rodon exit claim

**Tottenham will be ‘inundated’ with offers for Joe Rodon if they choose to sell him this summer, according to Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge.**

### The Lowdown: No future under Conte?

The 24-year-old has barely had a look-in under Antonio Conte and was duly [linked with a move away](https://www.givemesport.com/1820810-spurs-transfer-news-fresh-update-on-64-star-leaving-tottenham-hotspur-this-month)from the club in January.

The centre-back arrived at Spurs in 2020 following an [£11m agreement](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54577706) with boyhood club Swansea, but his career in the Premier League has not started the way he would have wanted. The [6 foot 4](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joe-rodon/profil/spieler/297212) Welshman has made just [13 appearances in the Premier League](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joe-rodon/leistungsdaten/spieler/297212) and played a mere [78 minutes](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joe-rodon/leistungsdaten/spieler/297212) of top-flight football this season.

Rodon has featured on three occasions for [Conte](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joe-rodon/leistungsdatentrainer/spieler/297212/plus/0/trainer_id/3517), with two of these appearances coming in the FA Cup, from which they were eliminated by Middlesbrough last week.

### The Latest: Bridge’s claim on Rodon…

Bridge has claimed that Tottenham would not be short of buyers if they decide to sell the Wales international in the summer.

Speaking to [GiveMeSport,](https://www.givemesport.com/87978938-spurs-could-soon-be-inundated-with-offers-for-64-star) the journalist said of Rodon: *“He could be one of those players who never catches a break at Tottenham and goes on somewhere and does really well. But if Tottenham decide to say, look, it’s not going to happen, they’ll be inundated with offers this summer.”*

### The Verdict: He needs the move

Whilst Tottenham are in no means blessed with a [wide array](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tottenham-hotspur/kadernachposition/verein/148) of centre-back options, Conte has seemingly passed on selecting the 24-year-old at every given opportunity.

Therefore, he clearly has a case for possibly feeling aggrieved over a lack of playing time; especially since the Italian has opted to play a natural left-back in [Ben Davies](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ben-davies/leistungsdaten/spieler/192765) as a makeshift centre-half instead of trusting in the ex-Swansea defender.

If Rodon wants to continue playing at the top level, he may need to move elsewhere in pursuit of first-team action, and it doesn’t appear that Conte would stand in his way if the 24-year-old were to push for an exit from N17.

With the Welshman having drawn [glowing comparisons](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/celtic-linked-swansea-defender-joe-11143770) with [three-time Premier League winner](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/john-stones/erfolge/spieler/186590) John Stones in the past, he could indeed be the subject of much interest if Spurs are willing to offload him, as Bridge has suggested.
