Leeds United submit official bid to sign Ben Godfrey as green light given to Everton manager Sean Dyche
Leeds United have made an official loan bid for Everton defender Ben Godfrey amid a collapsed deal with Atalanta this January,.
The newspaper reported via its website [28 January] that the 26-year-old’s £10million move to Serie A has collapsed due to the abolishment of favourable tax break rules in Italy. It is understood that the Toffees and Sean Dyche have given the green light for Godfrey to leave Goodison Park this month as the club look to avoid any further punishment from the Premier League over FFP rules..
Godfrey’s move to Leeds looks well and truly on, giving Daniel Farke another option in defence alongside Joe Rodon, Pascal Struijk and Liam Cooper.
However, this could be curtains at Elland Road for current defender Charlie Cresswell, who was involved in the matchday squad against Plymouth for just the second time since November.
Although Godfrey is understandably frustrated with his lack of playing time under Dyche, it is unlikely that the centre-back will get any more at Elland Road, considering Ethan Ampadu’s recent exerts in the position.
