Leeds United's technical director Gretar Steinsson is a former Tottenham Hotspur employee having previously undertaken the role of performance director at the North London club.
The Whites' transfer hierarchy this summer has been bolstered with the arrival of recruitment lead Jordan Miles from Aberdeen, but as was the case last summer, it will be Steinsson and transfers consultant Nick Hammond leading the search for incoming players and holding talks with clubs, representatives and players.
Deemed by some in the footballing world as a difficult club to deal with in negotiations, Spurs have driven a hard bargain for their players in recent years and Leeds' talks for Rodon this summer are unlikely to be straightforward, not least because he is into the final year of his stay at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
