At 26 years old, Godfrey would undoubtedly be an impressive acquisition for Leeds. As an England international, he is simply too talented for the Championship and his versatility as both a right-back and centre-back at Elland Road would be invaluable. However, securing his signature is proving to be a challenge, with negotiations between Leeds and Everton yet to reach a satisfactory conclusion. With the transfer deadline looming, it would be unwise for Leeds to rely solely on Godfrey and they should explore other options, including the free agent market. One potential candidate is Greek defender Konstantinos Manolas, who is famous for scoring a late Champions League winner for Roma against Barcelona. While Godfrey’s position within the team is still undecided, it is important for Leeds to consider all possibilities and add Manolas to their shortlist if necessary. In any case, it is worth remembering that free agents can be signed outside of the transfer window.
