DONE DEAL: Rennes sign Tottenham stopper Rodon with option to buy

Tottenham Hotspur defender Joe Rodon has joined Rennes on a season-long loan.

The Ligue 1 club also possess an option to buy at the end of the 2022/23 campaign.

Rodon, 24, wants regular playing time ahead of Wales' World Cup campaign later this year.

"He's a real central defender," Rennes sporting director Florian Maurice said.

"He has that aggressive side that we need to allow us to be even more effective defensively.

"He will bring us his experience, even if he did not play all the matches last season he played in the European Cup, as we have seen at Roazhon Park."
