​Mempham declares Tottenham target Rodon ready for Premier League

Tottenham target Joe Rondon can hack it in the Premier League.

That is according to his teammate with the Wales national team, Chris Mepham.

He believes Spurs should push ahead with their interest in Rodon.

The 22-year-old is a hot property and is wanted by other Premier League clubs as well.

A deal could even be done before October 16, the domestic transfer deadline in England.

"Joe's quality is there for everyone to see," said Mepham to reporters.

"He's played a lot of games for Swansea now and has been putting in some really good performances. He's definitely got what it takes to make the step up.

"He's very calm and composed on the ball and very confident in stepping forward. Defensively, he's very dominant in the air and he's quite a big lad so he imposes himself on the game.

"I think he has all the characteristics that any Premier League team would look for in a centre-back. If he does make the step up then I hope he does really well. I think he could be a good talent."
