Wales coach Rob Page is keen for Tottenham defender Joe Rodon to play regularly next season ahead of the World Cup.
The centre-back has been tipped to leave Spurs this summer with Nottingham Forest, Leeds and Brighton all linked to the 24-year-old.
Page said: “In an ideal world, we want our players playing week-in and week-out but we’ve done alright up to now.
“We’ve always had that sort of scenario where the players are turning up on camp, they’re not playing at club level but when they put the jersey on, they go and give an unbelievable performance and because of those performances, it’s why we are sat here today talking about the World Cup, so I’m not overly concerned about it.
“I’m going to use Joe Rodon as an example. I think Joe’s been outstanding. What he’s done in the games he has played for us has been exceptional, considering he’s not playing at club level.
“He can go to another level. He’s been very good, but I think there’s more to come from him. And I think he can achieve that by playing week-in and week-out at domestic level.
“He’s a Premiership player. If you were to draw a Premiership player, it’s Joe Rodon to a T, isn’t it? He’s got all the attributes, but he just needs to be playing week in and week out to sustain that level that he’s been giving us.”
