John Hartson has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to the performance of Tottenham Hotspur central defender Joe Rodon against Chelsea this evening.
The former Arsenal and Wales international striker was impressed by what he saw of Rodon in the Premier League game at Stamford Bridge.
Hartson has said that time will tell how good the 23-year-old can become, but he believes that the Wales international central defender is a “potential superstar”.
Former Tottenham star Graham Roberts was impressed with Rodon as well, and he has also praised the performances of Serge Aurier, Sergio Reguilon and Moussa Sissoko in the London derby, which ended in a goalless draw.
