Tottenham are ‘looking at’ deal for Everton defender Ben Godfrey.

Reporter Dean Jones has given GIVEMESPORT an update on Tottenham Hotspur’s possible pursuit of Everton defender Ben Godfrey, including the England international’s position on switching teams.

Godfrey joined the Toffees in 2020 from Norwich City for a possible £30 million signing bonus,

according to Sky Sports. subsequently joining Everton, the 25-year-old has

experienced periods of consistency in the team’s lineup, but under Sean Dyche,

he has subsequently dropped in the hierarchy. Godfrey could be an option for Ange Postecoglou at Spurs,

as they need to add depth to their roster following recent injuries.

Although Micky van de Ven joined the team during the summer transfer window,

he won’t be able to play until 2024 due to an injury. This season, Postecoglou has occasionally

been compelled to play full-backs in the middle of defense; therefore,

it’s possible that they will add another player in January.

Ben Godfrey makes sense for Ange Postecoglou

Spurs are reportedly mulling a deal for Godfrey, an out-of-favor Everton defender,

according to talkSPORT. The rise of Jarrad Branthwaite and James Tarkowski’s dependability

have made it difficult for the former Norwich center-back to get playing time.

Spurs may so try to capitalize on this. Given that he’s having difficulty breaking into Sean Dyche’s squad,

it may not seem like a great idea for the north London club from the outside looking in,

but Postecoglou may find him to be a valuable option due to his versatility.

Godfrey’s versatility as a player throughout his career may be a major factor in Postecoglou’s

decision to bring him to Hotspur Way. Being at ease in various positions is vital to

the Australian manager’s system, as he prefers his players to be flexible and move around the pitch during games.

The Toffees may accept Godfrey’s departure during the winter transfer window if a

suitable deal comes up, according to a recent report from Football Insider.

Given the Merseyside club’s well-known financial difficulties, an opportunity to profit from a player who

isn’t a regular in the team would be appealing. The English defender’s head may

turn if Spurs are willing to give Godfrey further playing time.
