Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna is reportedly a big fan of one Tottenham Hotspur player who’s set to leave this summer.
Tottenham have wasted no time in clearing the decks ahead of what looks set to be a defining transfer window for Ange Postecoglou.
Ryan Sessegnon, Japhet Tanganga, Eric Dier and Ivan Perisic all headed out the door on free transfers last week. Tanguy Ndombele looks set to be the next in line, with reports claiming the Frenchman has agreed to terminate his deal at Tottenham a year ahead of schedule.
Tottenham will now be working on picking up fees for a host of fringe players and Emerson Royal could be heading to AC Milan.
Genoa are also keen on making Djed Spence’s move to Italy permanent after his loan spell in Serie A last term. But Spurs will have to find a potential buyer for Joe Rodon after he missed out on promotion with Leeds United.
Football.London’s Alasdair Gold has suggested that newly-promoted Ipswich Town could emerge as an option for the Welshman.

McKenna admires Tottenham’s Joe Rodon
Speaking on the Gold & Guest Talk Tottenham Podcast, the journalist provided an update on Rodon’s future.
The centre-back is expected to head out the door this summer despite Spurs taking up an option to extend his contract by a year last week.
“Joe Rodon will be heading off this summer, we will wait to see where he’s going,” Gold said.
“I’m intrigued to see whether he ends up somewhere like Ipswich. I know Kieran McKenna is quite a big fan of him, so I wonder whether that would be an option for him.”

What Rodon has said about Spurs future amid Ipswich interest
Rodon looked set to join Leeds after impressing at Elland Road last season. But a 1-0 defeat in the play-off final has thrown a possible move into doubt.
The Welshman spoke about his Spurs future ahead of the trip to Wembley and admitted he’s looking for stability moving forward.
“It would be nice to have stability and know where I am next season,” Rodon said. “I’ve always strived to get to the elite level and hopefully I can get back there with Leeds, but you never know.
“I don’t want to look too far into the future, although I do love it here and Leeds feels like a second home to me now. I’m just concentrating on giving my best and getting this club back to where it belongs.”
Rodon was snapped up for £15 million from Swansea City back in October 2020 but has managed just 24 appearances for Spurs.
McKenna will be familiar with the centre-back after facing off against him on two occasions in the Championship last season.
It’s a signing that would make plenty of sense for the East Anglian club as they look to add Premier League experience to their side.
