Rangers are setting their sights on securing the services of out-of-favour Everton defender, Ben Godfrey, in the upcoming January transfer window. According to a recent report by 90min, the Glasgow-based club is eager to bolster their defensive lineup and sees Godfrey as a prime target.
The report, published on November 8th on the 90min website, reveals that Everton is open to the possibility of parting ways with the 25-year-old during the winter transfer window. This willingness to sell stems from Godfrey’s limited playing time in the Premier League this season, having featured for just one minute on the pitch so far.
Rangers, however, are not alone in their pursuit of Godfrey. The defender has caught the attention of several Premier League sides, intensifying the competition for his signature. According to sources cited by 90min, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United are among the top-flight clubs expressing interest in the talented defender.
“Everton defender Ben Godfrey is emerging as a transfer target for several Premier League sides, including Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United, sources have confirmed to 90min,” the report states.
The desire to secure more regular playing time appears to be a driving force for Godfrey, as he seeks to reignite his somewhat stagnant top-flight career. Everton, in response to this aspiration, has signaled their openness to entertain offers for the talented defender.
“Godfrey is keen to reignite his flailing top-flight career, and Everton are now willing to listen to offers for him,” notes 90min.
Despite the interest from Rangers, the competition remains fierce, with other Premier League clubs such as Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, and Burnley also vying for Godfrey’s services. As the January transfer window approaches, the race to secure the signature of Ben Godfrey promises to be one filled with intrigue and competition.
