Tottenham Express ‘Strongest Interest’ in Signing Serie A Centre-Back.
Reports Linking Tottenham to Former Premier League Centre-Back Persist, with Italian Sources Indicating Ongoing Interest.
Ben Godfrey’s time at Atalanta has been less than ideal since his move from Everton, with the 27-year-old struggling for regular game time in Bergamo.
Reports over the past week have suggested that he could leave the Serie A club at the earliest opportunity, with Tottenham rumored to be interested in securing his services.
However, recent reports have cast doubt on this speculation, with some outlets claiming that Spurs have chosen to explore other options despite being offered the chance to sign Godfrey.
Despite this, new updates from Italy indicate that Tottenham remains one of Godfrey’s potential destinations this January.
Journalist Alessandro Giovanni Pagliarini reports that Spurs have “asked for information” about the defender, who is also being monitored by both Nottingham Forest and Wolves.
Rudy Galletti has taken this further, claiming that Spurs have shown the most interest in signing Godfrey, viewing him as a viable option to strengthen their defense.
He also notes that Wolves are among the other clubs in the running for Godfrey’s signature.
Tottenham’s interest in Godfrey makes sense given the current state of their squad.
With four senior center-backs already at his disposal and promising young players like Luka Vuskovic and Ashley Phillips emerging, manager Ange Postecoglou may prefer a loan deal rather than committing to a permanent signing this month.
Godfrey, known for his speed, versatility, and technical ability, could be an attractive option for Spurs as they look to bolster their defensive options.
However, questions remain about his defensive consistency, and some Spurs fans may have reservations about his role in crucial matches, especially considering his struggles at Atalanta.
