Leeds United told they have a player who a ‘lot of clubs’ would love to sign

Leeds United’s abundance of international stars makes their squad arguably the most highly sought after across the entire Championship.

The Whites have had the most number of players in the division away with their respective countries over this break, with as many as eight in action today alone.

Brenden Aaronson managed 20 minutes for USA during the early hours of the morning, overcoming the illness that kept him out of their trip to Jamaica at the weekend.

Max Wober and Manor Solomon have already completed their two matches for Austria and Israel respectively, though today is undoubtedly the busiest in terms of Leeds involvement.

Ao Tanaka, Wilfried Gnonto, Mateo Joseph, Joe Rodon, Charlie Crew, Dan James, Karl Darlow and Junior Firpo will all take to the field over the coming hours.

Craig Bellamy makes transfer claim about Leeds star Joe Rodon

One of those players mentioned above is actually set to make a milestone appearance for his country tonight – Joe Rodon.

Rodon is set to win his 50th cap for Wales and Leeds teammate Dan James has already tipped him to reach 100 by the end of his career.

Craig Bellamy is the manager with the honour of handing Rodon arguably the most landmark moment of his career to date, someone he wanted to work with even before he got the Wales job.

Not only did Bellamy want to sign him back in 2018 at Oxford United, but he has also revealed to Wales Online that he was keen to do so more recently at Burnley.

Bellamy believes Rodon is the type of defender a ‘lot of clubs’ would love to have, meaning Leeds are lucky to have him.

He said: “I probably shouldn’t say this, but I remember that even when I was at Burnley we wanted him. So he’s a player where a lot of clubs would love in terms of profile.”
