Joe Rodon looks on course to get the game time he desperately craves in 2022/23 with a season-long loan move to Rennes. Not making the trip to Israel with his Tottenham teammates for Saturday's friendly against Roma, the centre-back will instead complete a medical this weekend ahead of his loan deal to the French club, who are understood to have the option to purchase the player at the end of the campaign for €20million (£16.7m).
It is a much-needed move for the Welshman, especially with the 2022 World Cup on the horizon. A regular at the back for his country, Rodon desperately requires the minutes to ensure he is in the best possible position for Wales' historic World Cup campaign.
Playing a bit-part role in N17 ever since his move from Swansea City in October 2020, the 24-year-old made 10 appearances in total for the Lilywhites last season, with three of those coming in the Premier League. Rodon is highly thought of by head coach Antonio Conte but he simply cannot go a third season with limited football as he is at a crucial stage in his development where he needs to be playing week in, week out.
