Ben Godfrey is poised to leave Atalanta in January, with multiple Premier League clubs, including Nottingham Forest and Wolverhampton Wanderers, expressing interest in the former Everton defender. Atalanta is reportedly open to loan offers for Godfrey, who joined the Serie A side last summer for approximately £11 million.
The Daily Mail report how the 26-year-old has struggled to secure a regular spot in Atalanta’s starting lineup, making only four substitute appearances since his arrival. With limited first-team opportunities, Godfrey is eager to return to England and play more consistently.
Nottingham Forest and Wolves are among at least four Premier League teams keen on acquiring Godfrey’s services. Forest has had a strong start to the season, currently sitting in fifth place, while Wolves are battling relegation and looking to bolster their defense.
Godfrey’s experience in the Premier League, combined with his versatility as a defender, makes him an attractive option for both clubs. He has previously played in various defensive roles during his time at Everton, where he made 93 appearances before moving to Italy.
