Leeds can’t afford the €15m star- Ipswich to profit from Leeds United misfortune

Leeds United’s prospects of signing Tottenham’s Joe Rodon were also diminished by their loss in the play-off final,

which dampened their hopes of making a comeback to the Premier League.

As a member of one of the division’s most formidable defenses, the defender has had an outstanding season for Daniel Farke’s team.

Nevertheless, Ipswich Town’s elevation to the top division allows them to capitalize on Leeds’ bad luck. Rodon might

be the ideal person to start with as they will be looking to add.

Joe Rodon, who signed with Tottenham Hotspur in 2020, has always had difficulty proving himself after making

his mark at Swansea City. Despite being under several managers, he has only made 24 appearances

in his three and a half years in London and hasn’t been allowed to display his actual abilities.

But his career took a turn for the better once he was loaned to Leeds last season, where he established

himself in one of the Championship’s elite teams.

Having made 50 appearances for the Whites in all competitions, he has shown why Swansea thought so highly of

him by giving up just 45 goals in that time.

Furthermore, according to FotMob, he is in the top 20 percentile of Championship defenders in the majority of

defensive and passing numbers, and this may easily translate back to Premier League play.

It will be sad for Yorkshire club supporters if Rodon does not start with Ethan Ampadu in the upcoming campaign.

For a Championship team that supposedly still owes £116 million in unpaid transfer fees, his assessment of £15 million seems a bit high.

Ipswich should take advantage of Rodon situation

Farke called him a “perfect role model of a modern defender” early in the season, so Ipswich need to be

monitoring his circumstances at Tottenham.

In addition to his previous Premier League experience, he has outperformed his defensive

opponents at Ipswich this season, as previously mentioned.

A strong defense is a necessary basis for the team that will probably have the lowest budget in the league if

they hope to stay up. The transition to the Premier League will be challenging for them after conceding 57 goals in the

Championship, and they will require new players to bolster their aging defense.

Examining Sheffield United’s season blueprint is a great place to start, as Leeds’ competitors

shipped 104 goals in the top flight after maintaining a similar back-line to their promotion season.
