After failing to meet expectations at Atalanta, 26-year-old defender Ben Godfrey is set to leave the Serie A club and join struggling Premier League side Ipswich Town. Godfrey, who has made just a handful of appearances for Atalanta since joining from Everton in 2022, would bring much-needed experience to Ipswich's leaky defense.
Godfrey has been told he can leave the Italian side and that he is no longer part of the club's plans.
But since joining the Lombardi outfit, he has made just one league appearance, and five in all competitions, all of which have come from the bench. And with Ipswich having shipped the fourth-most goals of any Premier League side this season, Godfrey would certainly bring some much-needed experience to their backline.'A huge loss' - Chelsea thought injury was five weeks, but it's so much worseI thought I signed Young Player of the Year only for him to go missing and join Arsenal
Godfrey's breakthrough season with the Canaries came in the 2018/19 campaign, where he featured in 31 league games as his side won the Championship title.Though Norwich were relegated from the Premier League the following season, the young defender impressed, and signed for Everton in a deal rising to £25m in 2020.'s Euro 2020 33-man provisional squad, and made his senior debut in a pre-tournament friendly win over Austria, despite ultimately not making the final 25-man cut.
