# Tottenham Hotspur: Alasdair Gold drops N17 claim involving Joe Rodon

**Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/alasdairgold/status/1450424734194323465?s=21), sharing an article he wrote for [football.london](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/transfer-news/rodon-winks-tottenham-transfer-window-21898810), reliable reporter Alasdair Gold has namedropped Joe Rodon as a player who could now ‘potentially leave Tottenham’.**

### The Lowdown: Rodon struggles to break through…

Despite [impressing when given the opportunity](https://www.footballinsider247.com/the-biggest-compliment-i-can-pay-him-robinson-shares-how-joe-rodon-is-so-special/) and becoming a mainstay for Wales on the international stage, Rodon hasn’t exactly been handed opportunities galore under Nuno Espirito Santo.

Signed from Swansea in the summer of 2020, the 23-year-old has been tipped as a real one for the future at Spurs but Gold believes he could be a candidate to ‘potentially leave’ in January due to his lack of game time.

### The Latest: Gold makes claim…

Writing for [football.london](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/transfer-news/rodon-winks-tottenham-transfer-window-21898810), the reliable reporter says Rodon could now be a candidate to leave mid-season and it is understood that he has grown ‘frustrated’ behind the scenes over his lack of opportunities.

An unfortunately-timed injury at the start of this campaign has only slowed down his progress as he aims to become a regular in the starting eleven.

A loan move away from the club, therefore, could be a solution for the starlet with the versatile Japhet Tanganga able to provide cover at centre-back during Rodon’s possible stint away.

### The Verdict: Right move?

If Spurs can find a suitor to take him on loan, of which there should be plenty, we believe a temporary move away from north London could indeed be clever for the player’s development.

Lauded as a ‘[special player](https://mobile.twitter.com/ianmitchelmore/status/1374837759702097932?s=21)‘ by Welsh reporter Ian Mitchelmore, it is no secret that Rodon has shined on the international stage – with the only task now for Spurs being to nurture that form steadily at club level.
