'Godfrey has a brilliant three-way choice'
- Published
The Telegraph's Luke Edwards has been discussing why Everton are looking to sell defender Ben Godfrey and why the 26-year-old might be looking for a move away from Goodison Park himself, on the Transfer Gossip Daily podcast: "What a wonderful choice dilemma this is for that young man. He's got the choice where he can go to AC Milan and play for one of the most glamorous clubs in Italy, live in Milan, and play for some of the most passionate supporters in Europe. However, some of that is wishful thinking.
"His second choice is a team struggling against relegation but showing a bit of fight. He wouldn't have to move very far from Merseyside to Yorkshire. They are a good side and have Chris Wilder who has been allowed to strengthen his squad. He wants to bolster his backline as well and they are going to have a fighting chance of staying up this season, particularly if Nottingham Forest and Everton are docked points.
"Or do you go to Leeds United? One of the great football clubs. They are a one-club city who are going really well in the Championship. They aren't guaranteed promotion, but Godfrey can take part in a promotion campaign. However, it also runs the risk of playing for a Championship club.
"So there are three options there. I would choose AC Milan all day every day. But I have a feeling this will come to a straight shootout between Sheffield United and Leeds United.
"It's one of those debates which you can put yourself into as a football fan. These are three very different clubs, very different parameters, expectations and situations. I think it's a brilliant three-way choice."
