Wales coach Page reveals Rodon ready to leave Tottenham

Wales coach Rob Page has revealed Joe Rodon is considering his future at Tottenham.

Centre back Rodon, 24, has played just one game under Antonio Conte so far, and looks set for an equally frustrating second half of the season.

"Joe is an unbelievable talent and rightly so got a move to a big Premier League club in Tottenham," Page said.

"But now he understands he might have to move on and play games of football because we want our best players playing week in, week out.

"Then when they turn up and play against the Belgiums of this world, if they are playing in the Premier League week in, week out then it's not a culture for them.

"They are used to the standard and the movement of [Romelu] Lukaku or the physicality and demands that top class football brings. That's where we want our players."

Brighton and Newcastle are both monitoring Rodon's situation ahead of the January market.
