Nottingham Forest are interested in Tottenham Hotspur defender Joe Rodon.
Centre-back looks to be one of the priority positions for Forest in the summer market, with Tobias Figueiredo and Loic Mbe Soh the only senior back-up options. Forest have already been linked with a handful of names since earning promotion to the Premier League three days ago, but the last is Tottenham centre-back Rodon.
According to our colleague Alasdair Gold, Tottenham Hotspur correspondent for Football.London, Forest "certainly" have an interest in Rodon, who played under countryman Steve Cooper at Swansea City.

The 24-year-old came through the academy ranks at Swansea before joining Tottenham in the summer of 2020. He has only made 24 appearances in all competitions across two seasons with the north London club.
He is now keen to move on this summer and a reunion with Forest boss Steve Cooper could be high on his agenda. During their time together in south Wales, Cooper said of Rodon: "It’s a real honour to work with him and the guys every day as they only want to improve and support their team-mates.
"Joe is a fantastic example of that. If he keeps going as he only good things will happen for him with club and country.”
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Alasdair Gold said: “I think there’s interest from Forest, certainly. Obviously Steve Cooper was his former Swansea manager, Welsh as well.
"He knows him very well. I’d be stunned if Forest don’t show some real interest in him in the weeks ahead.”
