BREAKING NEWS: Leeds United clinch a double raid on Tottenham, strike incredible deals, as club prepares to rebuild for another promotion

Leeds United should look into the possibility of signing two players from Tottenham this summer with

Joe Rodon very much in their focus but now a second star also up for grabs after Fabrizio Romano

confirmed he would be jettisoned out by Ange Postecoglou.

 

The north London side made rapid strides under the management of the Aussie this season,

though ultimately fell just short of their goal of qualifying for the Champions League after

ultimately finishing in fifth.

And while a Europa League place represents a fitting reward for the exciting brand

of football that Postecoglou has introduced, he wants much more and clearly has ambitions to

establish Tottenham among the very best in English and European football.

 

With that in mind, the ruthless Spurs boss has cleared the decks for 10 stars to leave N17 this summer as

he looks to streamline his squad and improve their overall quality.

 

As such, Emerson Royal, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Giovani Lo Celso and Bryan Gil are

all up for sale this summer and likely to head overseas, while Ryan Sessegnon will be allowed to

leave on a free transfer.

 

In addition, Spurs are also ready to let several stars who spent the 2023/24 season out on loan

make permanent moves elsewhere, with Rodon, Djed Spence, Japhet Tanganga, Sergio Reguilon and

Tanguy Ndombele also all up for grabs.

Having spent £225m to sign the 10 players, Spurs will have to wave farewell to a hefty portion of those outlays.

The Wales center-half, Rodon, is one player they do appear to be able to turn a profit on,

though, as he joined Leeds on loan for the season and has emerged as a key player in their promotion quest.

 

Leeds learn price to make Joe Rodon move permanent

The 26-year-old has established himself as the cornerstone of Leeds’ defense, and his success against Southampton on Sunday in the Championship play-off final at Wembley will depend heavily on him.

In what could be a close match in the capital, victory in the match will guarantee that one of the two will make an immediate return to the Premier League following their relegation from the previous campaign.

To help limit the skill of Adam Armstrong, who has scored 23 goals this season and also found the back of the net in Saints’ 2-1 victory at Elland Road on the final day of the regular season, Leeds will undoubtedly need Rodon to perform at the highest level.

But play-off success for Leeds would also help secure the futures of a number of their top stars with Archie Gray and Crysencio Summerville both attracting serious interest from Premier League sides.

Additionally, it would almost ensure Rodon’s long-term signing at Elland Road. According to TEAMtalk, the Wales defender has made moving to Elland Road his top aim this summer.

Should they lose this Sunday, they could lose the defender to another team, as Premier League clubs will also be aware of the excellent play of the 44-cap Wales international.

The favourites to recruit him are Leeds, though, and it’s thought that a price of about £12 million, with add-ons potentially worth £15 million, would be sufficient to clinch his contract. This would give Tottenham a tiny profit on their initial £11 million investment from Swansea in 2020.

Whites would be shrewd to bring in Ryan Sessegnon too

However, Rodon is not the only Spurs player Leeds should look to bring in this summer and a move to sign Sessegnon as a free agent would certainly make a great deal of sense.

His departure – and potential next move – has been clarified by Fabrizio Romano, who has revealed the player is keen to stay in the Premier League.

“Understand Ryan Sessegnon will leave Spurs as free agent as expected, time to part ways with the left-back,” the transfer journalist wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Although there is already a lot of interest in Sessegnon around England and Europe, the youngster would love to remain in the Premier League.

Following a £25 million transfer from Fulham in the summer of 2019, Sessegnon has ensured an injury-plagued spell at Spurs, making just 57 appearances over his five-year tenure.

Though he is still only 24 years old, the player still possesses a lot of talent, and like Rodon before him, he might simply need a change of scenery to receive regular games and improve his fitness and confidence.

As suggested Leeds would need to secure promotion to have a good chance of winning the race for the player, but as a free agent, he would represent a low-risk investment if a salary package and length of deal could be agreed.

Leeds have had an issue at left-back for a good number of seasons now, though Junior Firpo has come to the fore over recent months with a series of excellent displays during the Whites’ largely-impressive form over the second half of the season.

The former Barcelona man has eight assists to his name from 32 appearances this season, finally showing the Leeds fans what he is capable of.

But a return to the Premier League represents a major step-up in quality and Leeds would be wise to ensure they have adequate options to play left-back in the event they do beat Saints on Sunday.
