It’s not that he was so fantastic at Everton, but the chance of playing in Europe looked distant, so when centre-back Ben Godfrey got the opportunity to play for one of Italy’s best clubs, it was hard to say no.
The 26-year-old joined Atalanta in the summer on a transfer worth €12 million.
Atalanta is the Champions League club and currently leads Serie A, but Ben Godfrey is mostly chosen last, if he is chosen at all. Sky Sports reports today that Godfry wants a return to the Premier League, but not necessarily to Everton.
Yesterday’s 0 – 0 draw at the Emirates against Arsenal could be Farhad Moshiri’s last game as owner. It is rumored that Dan Friedkin’s purchase of the club will finally be approved next week.
There is interest from both Wolverhampton and Nottingham Forest for a deal in January. – And if we know Godfrey, we think a move to the City Ground is most relevant due to their good chances of playing in Europe given their 4th place in the Premier League.
Godfrey has a contract until the summer of 2029.
