Swansea are in the market for a centre-back as it is and are keen on taking Carter-Vickers.
The Welsh outfit want £18million for Rodon but Spurs are only willing to pay around £7m.
They've spent big this summer securing deals for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Joe Hart, Matt Doherty, Gareth Bale, Sergio Reguilon and Carlos Vinicius.
Tottenham had tried to sign Milan Skriniar from Inter Milan but the Serie A club were not prepared to compromise with Spurs over a fee.
According to former Tottenham striker Darren Bent, Rodon would be a shrewd addition to the squad if they can entice Swansea into a sale.

Bent told Football Insider: “When you think about it, it’s not really like Mourinho to go and get a youngster and try and coach them up to be a top centre-half.
“Listen, he’s looking around, he obviously likes his squad. I like the way they’re looking at the minute, they’re playing really well.
“They’re coming off the back of a huge result against Man United.
“For me, he would be a very shrewd signing if they were to go and get him.
“But at the same time, if they don’t get him I think they’ll be very happy with what they’ve done in the transfer market.”
