Rennes technical director Florian Maurice has claimed there was "no hesitation" from Joe Rodon in securing a season-long loan move to the Ligue 1 club. Always tipped to depart Tottenham this summer with the World Cup on the horizon, the 24-year-old has headed to France for regular first-team football.
The Wales international is no stranger to Roazhon Park, playing there last September for Spurs in the Europa Conference League group stage. The stadium could potentially become his permanent home as Rennes do have the option to purchase him at the end of his loan spell for €20million (£16.7million).
Playing a bit-part role for the Lilywhites ever since his switch from Swansea City in October 2020, Rodon was limited to ten appearances in all competitions last term. Given his need to feature week in, week out ahead of the World Cup after two seasons of limited football, Maurice has confirmed the move went through "very quickly" indeed.
