Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly prepared to move forward with a move for Everton center-back Ben Godfrey before the January transfer window opens, according to 90 minutes.
With just two appearances this season across all competitions, Godfrey has descended in Sean Dyche is hierarchy.
Over the past few weeks, a number of sources have stated that the Toffees are prepared to let go of the England international, and Spurs are rumored to be keeping an eye on his circumstances (Football.London’s Alasdair Gold).
Spurs prepared to take the lead Interest in Ben Godfrey
Tottenham’s interest in Godfrey has now been confirmed by 90 minutes, who claim the North London team is prepared to move forward with their pursuit of the defender.
According to the source, the Lilywhites have made it a priority to sign a center-back in January. The Everton player is reportedly one who the team has identified as fitting Ange Postecoglou’s system.
According to the report, the 25-year-old has impressed Tottenham’s scouts, and the Merseyside club is willing to sell the player for approximately £20 million plus add-ons.

Spurs are clearly searching for a backup to Van de Ven and Romero rather than a surefire starter, which is why I doubt the North London team would shell out more than £35–40 million.
Godfrey has the skills to play in Postecoglou’s backline, despite the fact that his reputation has declined over the past few years. The 25-year-old fits Ange’s system considerably better than he does Dyche’s.
