Tottenham Hotspur have some concerns over signing Joe Rodon from Swansea City, due to his injury problems, Football London report.

Tottenham are still in discussions with Swansea over signing Rodon, as they look to add options at centre-back.

But Spurs do have some worries about the transfer, as they feel that Rodon’s ankle issues could be a concern.

The Welsh defender has shown a tendency to pick up injuries, but when fit the 22-year-old has been exceptional.

Rodon is regarded as one of the finest defenders in the Championship, and he could be the final piece of the Tottenham jigsaw.

Jose Mourinho is keen to add one more defender to complete his side’s summer business.

Tottenham have time to get a deal over the line for Rodon, but whether they will be able to or not remains to be seen.

It is felt that Spurs and Swansea have very different valuations of the centre-back, and with Tottenham seemingly having some concerns about the deal, they may be reluctant to pay the full fee.
