Alasdair Gold has revealed on Football.London that Joe Rodon appears to have been frozen out by Ange Postecoglou.
It has been widely reported right from the start of the summer that Spurs are expected to make wholesale changes in central defence, with Rodon named as one of the players likely to leave (Evening Standard). Much to the frustration of some Tottenham fans, the club are yet to sign any centre-backs this summer but it now looks like some outgoings might be just around the corner.
Postecoglou himself confirmed on Tuesday that Davinson Sanchez is exploring his options (Charlie Eccleshare).
Rodon could now be on his way out of Tottenham
Gold has now revealed that Rodon is expected to follow Sanchez out of the door this summer.
He explains that the centre-back has been ‘seemingly frozen out’ under Postecoglou, with the Wales international allegedly being forced to train with those players coming back from injury and those who are not expected to feature in matches. The journalist states that the former Swansea man has not been part of the practice matches in the training ground in Australia, Thailand and Singapore.
It is not surprising that Postecoglou does not see Rodon as part of his plans on the back of the 25-year-old’s disappointing loan spell at Rennes.
Apart from the newly promoted sides like Luton Town, I cannot see any other Premier League side vying for the Welshman’s signature this summer.

The left-back was fortunate enough to be a part of one of the more successful periods in the club’s recent history, forming a brilliant defensive partnership with the likes of Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen, and Kyle Walker.
Rose amassed 214 appearances for Spurs and bagged ten goals in total for the club before finally ending his time in North London in 2021 (Transfermarkt).
At his peak, Rose was a mainstay in the Tottenham first team and is heralded as one of the better left-sided defenders to grace the turf at White Hart Lane over the years.
He did spend some time out on loan at other clubs during his career but a permanent move away from Spurs never materialised until Rose had passed his peak.
