Tottenham have a number of players involved at the World Cup in Qatar, with Ben Davies and Joe Rodon reuniting in the Wales camp.

The latter has been away from his fellow Welshman this season after Spurs loaned him out to Rennes in France for the 2022/23 campaign.

However, it seems like the childish, brotherly relationship between the pair still exists, as Davies was caught on camera winding Rodon up, provoking a seemingly furious reaction.

Well, the laughter from the Wales squad suggests this was an act of playfulness, although in truth, Rodon does seem to be quite annoyed.

After the centre-back turned up late for a team photo, Davies intimated that his Spurs teammate had been taking ages to do his hair by messing it up once he’d taken his position, as you can see below.

Rodon then grabs the £12.5m Tottenham man and tries to make him look scruffy ahead of the team photo, before rushing to fix his hair again before the snap is taken.

Of course, it was all in jest, but Rodon does not crack even a glimpse of a smile throughout, and seems genuinely annoyed.

World Cup represents big opportunity for Rodon at Tottenham

Rodon has done his chances of becoming a key player under Antonio Conte no harm with his displays in France, making 14 appearances in all competitions for Rennes as they sit third in Ligue 1.

Despite his impressive displays, the Welshman will surely make Conte sit up and take notice even more if he shines in Qatar with Wales.

All eyes will be on Rodon at the World Cup, and he is capable of putting his name up in lights.

Tottenham are currently lacking in their centre-back department, with Clement Lenglet struggling to impress, so if Rodon enjoys a strong World Cup campaign, it could be enough to salvage his career at Spurs.
