Report: ‘The complete player’ could now be joining Leeds United soon
Leeds United drew their opening game of the season 2-2 against Cardiff City and if that performance showed anything it’s that their defence needs a lot of work.
Indeed, the Bluebirds barely created any chances, but when they did attack, they went through the Leeds backline like a hot knife through butter.
Leeds’ defence was all at sea at the weekend, and to make matters worse, the one defender they thought they could rely on – Liam Cooper, went down injured.
Luckily, it appears as though help may be on the way on that front.
Indeed, according to , Leeds are closing in on the signing of Joe Rodon from Tottenham on loan.
Now this is a very interesting signing to say the least.
as ‘the complete player’ by his national team manager Rob Page, Rodon is a centre-back with bags of ability.
He showed at Swansea just how good he can be, and while his £20m move to Tottenham hasn’t quite worked out, it’s tough to begrudge any player for struggling at a top six Premier League club.
The fact that Rodon was even signed by Spurs in the first-place for such a fee shows the level of ability this young man possesses, and while he didn’t quite make it at Tottenham, he’s more than good enough to lead a Championship defence to promotion.
Leeds certainly need defensive reinforcements, and, in all honesty, this could be a bit of a coup.
This will be a loan move initially, but who knows? Perhaps if Rodon shines in west Yorkshire and helps Leeds back to the Premier League he will be a long-term centre-back solution at Elland Road as it looks as though there may be no way back for him at Tottenham now.
