Everton announce signing of Ben Godfrey from Norwich City | OneFootball

Everton have completed the signing of Norwich City centre-back Ben Godfrey.

Despite the Canaries’ relegation last season, the 22-year-old did impress on his first taste of Premier League action.

He has now made the move to Goodison Park on a five-year deal, with various media reports stating that the fee for the England Under-21 captain is £25 million plus bonuses.

If that is the final fee, it would him eclipse James Maddison as Norwich’s most expensive sale ever.

“It is an honour to sign for Everton and to be part of a huge club,” Godfrey told evertonfc.com after completing his move.

“I am very thankful for the opportunity and I can’t wait to get started.

“The aim for me at Everton is to win trophies and win games. I like to win. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I care and I am a passionate lad.

“The fans can guarantee they will get 110% out of me when I am on the pitch.”
