Tottenham Hotspur could sell Joe Rodon in the summer transfer window despite head coach Antonio Conte being a fan, according to The Athletic, with Everton and Fulham reportedly interested in him.

Antonio Conte likes Tottenham defender Joe Rodon

The report has claimed that Conte is ‘a fan’ of Tottenham and Wales international central defender Rodon’s ‘attitude and application’.

However, Spurs are open to selling the 24-year-old, who cost the North London club £11 million in transfer fees in 2020 (The Guardian), according to the report.

In demand

The Athletic have added that Fulham are interested in signing Rodon on a loan deal.

In late June, talkSPORT journalist Alex Crook claimed that Everton manager Frank Lampard wants to sign Rodon in the summer transfer window.

Spurs exit likely

In our view, it is very likely that Joe Rodon will leave Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window.

The defender is a peripheral figure at Tottenham and has not really make an impact at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The 24-year-old has made only 15 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.

Tottenham head coach Conte has a lot of options at centre-back now.

Wales will play at the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar, and for Rodon to head into the tournament in top form, he needs to play regularly in the coming weeks and months.
