‘Brilliant’ : National media raves about 25-year-old Spurs loanee after his international display
Joe Rodon, who is on loan from Tottenham Hotspur, performed admirably for Wales last night as they defeated Croatia 2-1.
Following his summertime demotion under Ange Postecoglou, Rodon is presently on loan at Leeds.
Indeed, the Australian manager strengthened his defense by bringing in Ashley Phillips and Micky van de Ven, which prompted Rodon to look for a transfer to play more frequently for the first team.
The 25-year-old has performed admirably thus far in the Championship, and it appears that playing more frequently has improved his results on the international stage.
Rodon was a standout for Wales last night as they defeated Croatia to increase their prospects of making the Euros.
It’s safe to say that the center-back’s performance impressed the Welsh media.
Welsh media raves about Rodon
Rodon received an eight out of 10 rating from Wales Online for his performance last night while playing the complete 90 minutes.
He turned up a “solid” defensive performance, according to the outlet, who was impressed by his efforts.
“Made a few really good defensive interventions,” they wrote. dug in to aid his side in completing the task. All night, the back was solid.
Rodon’s time at Tottenham has been somewhat unlucky because he’s battled injuries and failed to make the team under Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte.
The Welshman was signed in October 2020, and despite a few promising performances for Mourinho, he didn’t receive a lot of playing time.
But following a disappointing loan stint at Stade Rennais last season, the center-back is definitely benefiting from playing on a regular basis once more.
Rodon spent some time at Elland Road, so it’s unclear whether he can push his way back into the Spurs lineup.
Levy has outlined Spurs approach to Sheikh Jassim bid after Man Utd collapse
In light of rumors about a bid from Sheikh Jassim of Qatar, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has already addressed the club’s board’s strategy for a prospective takeover. After learning that the Glazer family was considering an exit strategy early this year, the 64-year-old put himself in the running to take over Manchester United.
Sheikh Jassim allegedly had a strong passion for Manchester United and tried to buy the team through multiple rounds of bidding. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who had been looking for a new football club, was also a front-runner in the contest, so he wasn’t alone.
After several months had passed, it appeared less and less probable that the Glazers would sell before Shiekh Jassim abruptly withdrew from the race on Saturday night. According to reports, a bid of about £5 billion was made to buy the club, and more investments in the billions were prepared.
However, a later report indicated that Ratcliffe was planning to acquire a minority ownership of 25% in the Red Devils with a view to a future full acquisition. There are concerns regarding the consequences because that appears to have decided the future of the Old Trafford team.
One of which has involved Shiekh Jassim potentially moving the bid towards Tottenham in view of a full takeover from ENIC – which owns over 85 percent of the club. It remains to be seen if that will be the case, but there certainly doesn’t seem to be any stopping of the rumours so far.
If that were to occur, Levy has already described how the board and himself would react if such an offer were to be made soon. I’ve got no real interest in leaving Tottenham, but I have a responsibility to consider any offers that may be made, he said in a statement to Bloomberg last month.
“What’s good for the club comes before what’s right for myself. 30,000 shareholders control roughly 13.5% of the company. This club is managed as though it were a public company.
