Leeds United head coach Jesse Marsch has praised Rodrigo, as quoted in Leeds Live.
Marsch was recently appointed as the new Leeds head coach following the departure of Marcelo Bielsa.
The American has taken training at Thorp Arch for only a few days, and he has already been impressed by Rodrigo, who can play as a striker, winger or attacking midfielder.

Marsch said: “Rodrigo; an intelligent young man who wants to help in every way.”
Big player for Leeds United
In our view, Rodrigo could play a big role for Leeds in the final weeks and months of the season.
The Whites are in danger of getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.
Rodrigo, 30, is a very experienced player who could be crucial to Leeds scoring goals and creating chances.
The former Valencia star has made 16 starts and three substitute appearances in the Premier League for Leeds so far this season.
Rodrigo has scored three goals and provided one assist in those games.
The Spaniard is a versatile player who is at his best in the number 10 role.
Once star striker Patrick Bamford is back in full swing, then Rodrigo could operate behind him and cause mayhem for the opposition defences.
