Everton boss Sean Dyche insists he's not seeking to lose Ben Godfrey.

The defender is being linked with a move away this month.

Dyche said, “Ben is going along well.

"His attitude is outstanding here, he's well thought of in the group. He hasn't had as much game-time, he's frustrated by that, obviously. I must make it clear, he's not frustrated with me and the situation, he's frustrated not to play.

"But he is a fantastic pro and continues pushing himself and the group. And that's what kind of guy he is."
