After losing Luke Ayling and Djed Spence earlier on in the January window, Daniel Farke will be keen to bring in some defensive reinforcements before the window slams shut later this week.
Currently fourth in the Championship table, Leeds have a monumental second half of the season left to play if they want to achieve automatic promotion back up to the Premier League.
A new signing could give them the exact boost that they need to finish on a high with former England goalkeeper, Paul Robinson, claiming that a deal for Everton defender Godfrey is ‘close.
If what I’m hearing is right I think the deal’s close for him and I think he’d be a very, very good addition.”
The English defender has struggled for minutes this season with the emergence of Jarrad Branthwaite pushing him to the fringes of the squad.
Just two points separate Farke’s men from Ipswich Town in second spot, although Leeds hold a game in hand over their rivals.
Meanwhile, Brentford midfielder Frank Onyeka is reportedly attracting interest from each of Fulham and Everton.
Having spent two-and-a-half seasons with the Bees, Onyeka has made a total of 65 appearances, but just six of his 16 outings in this season’s Premier League have come from the starting lineup.
Although the 26-year-old possesses a contract until 2027, there appears to be the possibility that the Nigeria international would be available for the right price.
According to the Evening Standard, Fulham and Everton are each admirers of Onyeka and are willing to negotiate a deal with their Brentford counterparts.
However, the report adds that Brentford are not prepared to consider a loan deal with both clubs viewed as rivals in the Premier League.
There is also said to be foreign interest, though, with the likes of La Liga club Girona and French side Reims monitoring the situation.
