Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna has shown a strong admiration for a Tottenham Hotspur player who is expected to depart this summer.
Tottenham has begun clearing out their squad in preparation for a crucial transfer window under Ange Postecoglou’s management. The likes of Ryan Sessegnon, Japhet Tanganga, Eric Dier, and Ivan Perisic have all left on free transfers recently. Reports suggest that Tanguy Ndombele is also set to terminate his contract ahead of schedule.
As Spurs aim to secure fees for several fringe players, the potential departure of Emerson Royal to AC Milan looms. Genoa is keen on making Djed Spence’s loan move permanent, while Joe Rodon may need to find a new destination after missing out on promotion with Leeds United.
According to Football.London’s Alasdair Gold, Ipswich Town could be a viable option for Welsh defender Joe Rodon. McKenna has expressed his admiration for Rodon, hinting at a possible move for the centre-back.
Despite Spurs extending Rodon’s contract last week, it is expected that he will leave the club this summer. Leeds United was previously linked with a move for Rodon, but uncertainty remains following their play-off final defeat.
Rodon remains hopeful for a stable future and elite-level opportunities, whether that be with Leeds or elsewhere. With limited appearances for Spurs since his arrival from Swansea City in 2020, a move to Ipswich could provide him with the chance to make an impact.
McKenna’s familiarity with Rodon from their Championship encounters last season could make him a valuable addition to Ipswich’s squad, bringing Premier League experience to the team.
