The desire from Leeds United fans for the club to sign Joe Rodon on a permanent basis is huge – and it appears that the club itself holds the same motivation to get a deal for the Welshman done.

The 26-year-old clocked up his 40th outing for Leeds on Sunday, helping the Whites keep another clean sheet. A 2-0 win over Millwall, that saw Leeds go top of the Championship, a step closer to promotion.

Rodon has already made it clear he would love to join Leeds – with a fee between £10m and £15m said to be enough to sign Rodon. Ange Postecoglou says Spurs will look to sign a centre-back this summer.

Now, TeamTalk deliver an update and it is claimed that Leeds are already in talks to sign the Wales star on a permanent basis this summer. They say Leeds expect to make him our first summer signing.

Brilliant news, for Leeds fans. Rodon is a pillar at the back and regardless of what division we find ourselves in next season, the Welshman would be a brilliant signing. We simply have to get it done.

Leeds open Joe Rodon talks and are expecting to do a deal

If we remain in the Championship, there might be some question marks as to whether Leeds get a deal done – and remain within the rules of Financial Fairplay. Those rules are strict, when in the second tier.

But with promotion seemingly on the cards, you would imagine that will not come into play and gives us the best possible position to get a deal done for Rodon. He wants a move, Spurs want to sell him.

Now, it is clear Leeds want to do a deal and escape a potential bidding war by getting it tied up quickly. He has been absolutely sensational for us. Sgning him now helps Leeds escape a Ben White situation.
