Tottenham Hotspur defender Joe Rodon and Manchester United winger Daniel James are on the radar of Brighton and Hove Albion, according to The Sun.
What’s the story?
The Sun are reporting that Brighton manager Graham Potter wants to sign Spurs defender Rodon and United winger James in the summer transfer window.
Spurs could send Wales international central defender Rodon out on loan if they are able to sign Takehiro Tomiyasu in the summer transfer window.
Potter worked with the 23-year-old Wales international at Swansea City.
The Brighton boss would ideally want to sign Rodon and James on permanent contracts, but he would be willing to sign them both on loan deals.
Interestingly, Potter was linked with the Tottenham managerial role before the North London club appointed Nuno.
The Sun reported last month that although Spurs were looking at Potter, the 46-year-old did not want to move to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Could Joe Rodon to Brighton happen?
Rodon joined Tottenham from Swansea only last summer.
Tottenham paid the Swans £11 million for the 23-year-old last summer, as reported by BBC Sport.
The youngster did not have a great season on a personal level.
Rodon made eight starts and four substitute appearances in the Premier League for Spurs last season.
Now, the arrival of Tomiyasu would make it hard for Rodon, but with a new manager in charge, the Welshman could well make an impression in pre-season.
Nuno will surely give every player a clean slate, and the new Spurs boss could be impressed by Rodon.
