Leeds Agree Personal Terms With Player-Fabrizio Romano For…
The newspaper reported on its website on Wednesday (24 January) that the Whites are leading the race to sign Scottish fullback Ramsay in a loan deal. Daniel Farke is also keen on landing a temporary transfer for 26-year-old centre-back Phillips, with Blackburn Rovers and Cardiff City also looking to sign him this month. It looks as though Leeds are finally starting to make waves in the January transfer window as they look to land loan deals for the Liverpool defenders. There is no doubt that they need to bring in further reinforcements to strengthen their backline this month after Djed Spence was sent back to Tottenham and Luke Ayling joined Middlesbrough on loan.
The Whites are currently short on options at right-back, so the 20-year-old Ramsay could come in and compete with Archie Gray for a starting spot after he was recalled from his loan spell at Preston earlier this month. Phillips would add more experience to the central defensive options after Pascal Struijk’s injury has left Farke with just Liam Cooper, Joe Rodon and Ethan Ampadu as a makeshift option to select from while Charlie Cresswell is currently out of the first-team picture. It will be interesting to watch how this story unfolds over the next few days, but it looks as though the club are now pushing hard to get some deals done.

At the moment, Dyche doesn’t to break his centre-back partnership, and hence Godfrey could be sold if the Toffees get a good offer. However, Leeds do have a chance to sign him if Godfrey decides to play somewhere else on loan to regain his confidence. He has loads of Premier League and Championship experience, and if he can stay injury-free, he can have a good opportunity to even impress his national team manager. Godfrey has a contract at Everton until 2025, and there is no indication that the Toffees want to extend his deal at the club. The next few days could be really interesting, and a potential move to Elland Road cannot be completely ruled out, as yet. The Whites are looking to bolster the defence before the end of the transfer window. Ideally, they want to sign full-backs, but it appears they are looking to add a new centre-back as well.
