Everton make big Ben Godfrey decision this evening amid Leeds United transfer 'offer'

Ben Godfrey starts for Everton in their Premier League clash against Fulham at Craven Cottage.

Godfrey is handed just a second start in the top flight this season - and fourth appearance in all competitions. The defender has been on the periphery of Sean Dyche's side, with James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite the preferred centre-back pairing.

But injury issues in the squad, with Amadou Onana the latest to be sidelined with a knock, means that Godfrey is handed an outing.

The 25-year-old has been linked with a departure from Goodison Park before the January transfer window closes. Football Insider suggested that Leeds United have already had one loan offer for Godfrey turned down by Everton.
