Jose Mourinho comments on Tottenham defender Joe Rodon

Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho suggested yesterday that he was ‘pleased’ with the performance of Joe Rodon as Spurs won 3-1 against Sheffield United.

Rodon, who joined in the summer transfer window from Swansea City for a reported fee of £11m, played in a three-man defence and really impressed during the game.

Mourinho has suggested that Rodon still ‘needs to develop’ and ‘has to learn’. The Spurs boss has claimed that the 23-year-old is a ‘good player’ who has the potential to get even better.

“He played well. He did many things well, a couple of things not so well, but he’s a player who of course was playing in the Championship.
