Spurs are close to completing a deadline day move for Swansea’s Joe Rodon which will bring an end to their search for a new centre-back.
The Lilywhites have been looking for a new centre back all summer and they have tried to land the likes of Milan Skriniar and Antonio Rudiger before now.
Both deals have not been successful and that is why they have left it late to seal the signing of a new centre back.
They say “better late than never”, and Sky Sports is reporting that Spurs may just land a centre back before the transfer deadline tonight.
Rodon is one of the highest-rated defenders in the English second division and he has been a target of some of the top sides in the Premier League, including Manchester City and Manchester United.
He is one of the players who helped Swansea to reach the semi-finals of the Championships playoff last season and he has continued to play a key role for them.
Spurs bid up to £35m for Skriniar, but the report claims that Rodon might move to the north London side for £18m today.
If Spurs does sign him, Jose Mourinho will no longer have a reason why he shouldn’t help the Lilywhites win a trophy this season because he will have one of the most complete squads in England.
