DONE DEAL: Leeds has finally won the race by signing a 19 years star player worth $300 million ………
According to reports, Leeds has made an attempt to capture the former Norwich player, who was on the verge of signing a £10 million contract with Atalanta earlier this month. Although it was turned down, Leeds intends to reapply.
Palmer, a former Leeds player, has now urged his former team to complete a trade in a conversation with Football League World. He thinks that Leeds must sign a player of Godfrey’s caliber following the departure of Leo Hjelde.
“The first loan bid for Everton defender Ben Godfrey was turned down by Leeds United. Palmer informed FLW that Leeds is eager to sign Godfrey and is putting together a better offer in an effort to seal a deal at the last minute.
“It is essential that Leeds bring in defensive reinforcements of the caliber that can see Leeds gain an automatic push for second place behind Leicester City, especially with Leo Heljde joining Sunderland,” he continued.
Needless to say, Godfrey would be a fantastic signing. An England cap holding multipositional ability. Graeme Bailey stated to LeedsUnited.News that closing a deal would be challenging.
However, if Everton is now making use of him, as they demonstrated last night, they must be trying to hold onto him. Not surprising, considering the rivalry between Leeds and Everton off the field. There will be a ton more.
