Brighton linked with January move for Tottenham and Wales international defender

The defender previously played under Graham Potter when he was at the Welsh club Swansea City in the Championship.

They paid Swansea City a fee of £11 million which could rise to £15 million for him in October 2020.

Rodon became one of the top prospects in the Championship before his move to Tottenham, but a lack of game time might have seen him be made available for a move away from the north London side by new manager Antonio Conte.

Tottenham defender Joe Rodon has reportedly attracted interest from Brighton and Hove Albion

According to the Times, Albion are showing an interest in the 24-year-old who could provide more competition in the Albion defence.

Potter is without injured captain Lewis Dunk until the end of January and Adam Webster has suffered a couple of injuries already this season.

A move for a Rodon could suit Albion as he would potentially settle into the side easily given his history with Potter.

If Albion's interest is real they would have to fend off interest from Newcastle and Leeds United.

Their Premier League position could be an enticing factor for Rodon as the other two sides are currently looking like relegation candidates if their form does not improve.
