Godfrey is obviously a top, top defender that has proven he is of Premier League standard. A player with England caps, gaining interest from some of Serie A’s best sides. A deal was always going to be tough.
But given he played for Everton last night, and that Dyche had a conversation with him – it looks right now, as though Godfrey will be staying. Plenty of twists and turns are expected before the deadline.
Leeds have options in defence, but there is clearly room for a signing or two. Archie Gray and Jamie Shackleton are solid at right-back, but they’re naturally midfielders. A new addition is required.
Leeds are said to have made a second offer for Godfrey, who was linked with a £10m move to Atalanta earlier this month. Sean Dyche is said to have had a conversation with him about his future last night.
Ben Godfrey remains a target for Leeds United between now and the end of the transfer window but the defender played for Everton on Tuesday night – and Jordan Pickford was impressed with him
