Ben Godfrey, the talented footballer, has made his return to the prestigious Premier League. This exciting news has been confirmed by Ipswich Town, who have announced that they have acquired Godfrey on loan from Atalanta until the end of the season. The 26-year-old defender previously made the move to Serie A from Everton during the summer, but unfortunately, he has not had much playing time in Italy.
Despite making just one appearance in the Serie A and five overall in domestic and European competitions, Godfrey's talent has not gone unnoticed. The Tractor Boys have taken advantage of this situation and quickly signed the English international for the remainder of the season. In an interview with TownTV, Godfrey expressed his delight at returning to the Premier League, stating, "It has been an exciting couple of days and I am overjoyed to have signed with Ipswich. I cannot wait to meet my new teammates and get started."
Godfrey also shared his excitement about working under the guidance of Ipswich's manager, Kieran McKenna. He said, "I have really enjoyed speaking to the manager and am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with him. From what I have seen, the team is a close-knit group, and I am eager to contribute towards achieving our goals." The talented defender has observed Ipswich's games from the first half of the season and has been impressed by the team's determination and hard work.
Godfrey's previous experience in the Premier League with Norwich City in the 2019-20 season and Everton, where he made 82 appearances, has made him a valuable addition to Ipswich. His impressive performances for the Toffees also earned him a call-up to the England national team by then-manager Gareth Southgate, who handed him two caps in 2021. It is a proud achievement for Godfrey, who has now joined an Ipswich side that has shown promising signs in recent weeks.
Despite a tough start to their return to the top flight, Ipswich has managed to pick up two wins and a draw in their last five league games. They are now only separated from safety by goal difference, which is a testament to the team's determination and resilience. Their most recent game against Fulham ended in a 2-2 draw, which was a good result, but also a frustrating one for McKenna, who saw his team take the lead twice. With Godfrey's Premier League experience and talent, Ipswich will surely benefit from having him in their squad for the remainder of the season.
