‘Here we go’ – Fabrizio Romano confirms move imminent for £11m Leeds United ‘target’ after medical passed
Leeds United have been linked with a long-standing interest in the £11m defender.
Reported Leeds United transfer target Ben Godfrey looks set to seal a move to Ipswich Town this month, with the final touches being put on a six-month loan switch.
Godfrey has long been linked with a move to Leeds and his name resurfaced in reports ahead of the January window, with a move away from Atalanta looking increasingly likely. The defender hasn’t started a single game since leaving Everton for the Serie A side in an £11m deal last summer, with four appearances totalling just 70 minutes.

The 26-year-old was never expected to join former Norwich City boss Daniel Farke at Elland Road this month, with recent reports claiming a deal would ‘only be possible’ in the summer and only if Leeds are promoted to the Premier League. But Godfrey looks to have secured his mid-season move with Fabrizio Romano confirming the agreement of a loan deal.

Romano adds that medical tests are underway and parts have already been completed, with final documents being exchanged. Those reports have been backed by Sky Sports, who suggest confirmation could come in the next 24 hours, with Godfrey expected to be present at Craven Cottage for Ipswich’s Premier League clash against Fulham.

Despite securing himself a move to Ipswich, links between Godfrey and Leeds are unlikely to go away any time soon. As already mentioned, reports of interest from West Yorkshire are thought to be over a possible summer move if promotion is achieved.

Having been on top-flight wages at Everton and Atalanta, it is highly unlikely Godfrey would have been able to reach an agreement with Leeds this month. Instead, the versatile defender will return to the Premier League but only on loan, with neither Romano nor Sky Sports giving any mention of a permanent clause.
