Leicester to make Rodon move?

There have been plenty of transfer rumours flying around Swansea this summer for a move for Joe Rodon with both Manchester clubs and West Ham reportedly interested in a move for one of our biggest prized assets.

Now we are informed this morning that former Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers has looked at the possibility of making Rodon one of his summer purchase and strengthen a defence that has lost Ben Chilwell to Chelsea this summer.

No official advance has been made to Swansea for the defender but we are hearing that Rodon is one of a few players being tracked by the Foxes ahead of the transfer window closing next week in the Premier League.

Rodgers side have made an excellent start to the new campaign and sit on top of the early table thanks to their impressive 5-2 win at the Etihad Stadium at the weekend but the former Swans boss is known to be looking at a new defender with the name of Roma’s Juan Jesus also linked with the club as they seek to strengthen.

It has long since been widely speculated that Rodon would move on this summer to ease the cashflow issues that the club face which have been heightened by the fact that football could be played behind closed doors for another six months leaving a huge financial hole in the projections for the season.

Rodon would command an eight figure fee to leave the Liberty but would be a big gap to fill especially when you factor in that the Swans are one of only two sides in the division who are yet to concede a goal this season with three clean sheets in our three league games to date.

The only plus side for the Swans is that with less than a week to go none of the reportedly interested clubs have made a formal move for Joe and whilst from a financial point of view that may not be ideal from a fans point of view we have to hope that it stays that way.

A move to any of the clubs linked would possibly be hard for Joe to turn down although from a career enhancing position you would assume that West Ham or Leicester may mean more regular first team football even if it does end up being slightly lighter on the bank balance.
