Leeds United anticipate Tottenham Hotspur asking for more than £15m for Joe Rodon, following his impressive performances this season, as reported by The Athletic.
Rodon has excelled at Elland Road this season since joining the club on loan last summer.
Daniel Farke recently confirmed that the Championship club has started working on signing the 26-year-old permanently, but did not provide many details on the situation (TEAMtalk).
Tottenham is seeking more than £15m for Joe Rodon
The Athletic has disclosed Leeds’ stance on Rodon and the factors they must consider before pursuing a move for the player.
The report states that many at the club view the Tottenham player as their best loan signing since Ben White, but the Welsh international is expected to come with a hefty price tag.
Leeds were quoted a £15m price for Rodon by Spurs last summer, and that figure is likely to have increased due to his impressive performances.
The report explains that Farke’s team not only needs to consider their chances of achieving promotion before making a significant investment in the defender but also whether the former Swansea player can thrive in the Premier League if they do get promoted.

There will likely be significant interest in Rodon from Premier League clubs at the end of the season, which is why Leeds would like to secure a deal for him before the summer.
However, the 26-year-old may not be in a rush to commit to Farke’s team and may want to wait and see if they are promoted to the Premier League.
