Joe Rodon has become something of a forgotten man despite recently arriving at Spurs for £15m just last year, yet for Wales, the defender continues to be important.
The centre-back was in fine form on Saturday night as Robert Page’s side claimed a huge 5-1 win against Belarus. With Wales securing a play-off spot to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
And Rodon has been key to this journey, with the former Swansea City star playing a crucial role for Wales. And on Saturday, the 24-year-old was in incredible form.
As per Squawka, Rodon made more interceptions and more clearances than any other Welsh player against Belarus. With the Spurs defender also winning 100% of his duels against the eastern European nation.
Indeed, with Rodon hardly getting a look in at Spurs under both Jose Mourinho and Nuno Espirito Santo, the Welsh defender has had a rough time since moving to north London.
Whilst these fortunes could change under Antonio Conte, it remains to be seen if the Italian manager will hand Rodon a chance in his infamous three-at-the-back formation.
Spurs fans laud Rodon for Wales display vs. Belarus
With Rodon having one of his best displays of the year against Belarus for Wales, some Spurs fans on social media are eager for the defender to now feature for Tottenham after the November international break.
Here’s what some Spurs fans had to say about Rodon’s performance for Wales on Twitter…
