Player deemed ‘perfect’ by Mourinho now pushing for Spurs exit

According to The Evening Standard, Joe Rodon is desperate to leave Tottenham in search for regular playing time.

The 24 year old moved to Spurs from Swansea for £11m and since then has barely featured for the club. He has a total of just 24 appearances across all competitions, most of them coming under Jose Mourinho. And with the Welshman not evidently part of Antonio Conte’s plans, the center-back looks determined to switch clubs in search for more minutes ahead of the upcoming world cup.

As the young defender pushes for a move away, both clubs in England and abroad have registered their interest in him. According to Alex Crook via TalkSport, Frank Lampard is eyeing him to strengthen his defense at Everton.

Mourinho is also reportedly intersted in reuniting with him at AS Roma and according to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Italian club has already enquired about his availability in June.

Mourinho seems to be a big fan of the player. He has previously been quoted saying (via football.london): “He’s perfect. Works very hard, young guy, wants to learn, very enthusiastic. He played already matches that represent a lot, he played important matches against some of the best teams.”
