Strong signal of intent emerges over Leeds United-linked defender

A defender linked with a Leeds United switch has been handed a first start of the year and just a third of the campaign.

Everton defender Ben Godfrey is a player that has been linked with a move to Elland Road as the club explore possible options to strengthen their squad ahead of Thursday's 11pm transfer deadline.

The 26-year-old has had very limited game time for Sean Dyche's side this season but Godfrey was handed a start for Tuesday night's Premier League clash at Fulham.
