Leeds United have reportedly made a formal approach to sign Everton defender Ben Godfrey on loan.
That’s according to The Sun, who believe the Toffees’ centre-back could be reunited with manager Daniel Farke following the pair’s time working together at Norwich City.
And it isn’t just Farke who has admired the 26-year-old throughout his career — Real Madrid and former Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti is also a big fan.
Believed to have rated Godfrey while managing the Toffees, Ancelotti always spoke very highly of the York-born defender.
However, now linked with a move away from Goodison Park, Godfrey looks like he could be one of this month’s late movers.
And according to these latest reports, Leeds United have put themselves in a strong position after making the Premier League side a loan offer.
