Joe Rodon is now getting the regular minutes under his belt that he craved following his summer switch from Tottenham to Rennes. Playing a bit-part role in his two years in north London, the Wales international desperately needed to secure a move away before the transfer deadline with the World Cup getting underway in November.
Heading to France and signing a season-long loan deal with Rennes, the Ligue 1 side do have the option to make his move permanent next summer. While many would have thought he would have secured another move to a Premier League club, Rodon has revealed that Wales teammates Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey, who himself is now playing in France for Nice, played a part in his decision after conversations with them.
"I speak to them a lot and they give me advice and guidance along the way," explained Rodon, as reported by WalesOnline. "I am thankful for that. I can always reach out to them because they are top professionals and brilliant senior players.
