The journalist of Daily Telegraph Luke Edwards gave Leeds United to face Sheffield United for Ben Godfrey.Leeds United are 4th in the Championship table. Nine points from a possible nine in the Championship reduced the gap between automatic promotion points to five points..
Daniel Farke’s side should at least qualify for the play-offs, but an automatic return to the Premier League cannot be ruled out.Godfrey, 26, has made just three appearances for Everton this season. He made just 13 appearances in the Premier League last time out and it makes sense that he would be linked with a move.Leeds United have been joined by AC Milan and Sheffield United as interested parties for the defender, but now according to an update, Leeds United and Sheffield United are battling for his signature.Speaking on the Transfer Gossip Daily Podcast (via Leeds), Edwards said:“So there are three options. I would pick AC Milan all day every day. But I feel it will be a head to head match between Sheffield United and Leeds United.“This is one of those conversations where you can pretend to be a football player. These are three very different clubs, very different parameters, expectations and situations. I think it’s a great three-way option.”.
Few English players play abroad and Edwards clearly does not believe Godfrey will.Despite the possibility of Champions League football, he believes both Sheffield United and Farke’s side have more chances this month.Both clubs could be in the Championship next season, so there is a risk. However, Godfrey is almost guaranteed more playing time with either the Blades or Los Blancos than with AC Milan..
The 26-year-old needs to get his career back on track, and consistent minutes are the best way to do that. He has plenty of Championship and top flight experience with both Norwich City and Everton and would be a good addition to both Chris Wilder and Farke’s squads..
