Spurs to include 'multiple players' in Rodon deal?

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly willing to offer 'multiple players' in any deal to bring Joe Rodon to the club from Swansea City before Friday's deadline.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly willing to include 'multiple players' in a deal to bring Joe Rodon to the club from Swansea City this summer.

Spurs have identified Rodon as their final target of a busy summer, which has already seen them sign Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Sergio Reguilon and Matt Doherty, as well as securing loan deals for Gareth Bale and Carlos Vinicius.

Jose Mourinho wants to bolster his centre-back options, though, and is keen for the club to push through a deal for Rodon before Friday's 5pm domestic deadline.

Tottenham are understood to have seen one bid for the 22-year-old rejected on international transfer deadline day and remain in talks with Swansea over their £18m asking price.

Football Insider reports that Spurs value Rodon at closer to £15m and have drawn up a straight cash offer in addition to a player-plus-cash swap.

Mourinho is open to using a number of fringe players as makeweights in the deal, including USA international Cameron Carter-Vickers, while they have also proposed the idea of loaning Rodon straight back to Swansea.

Rodon's Wales international teammate Bale has reportedly endorsed the club's pursuit of the centre-back.
