Lyon submit £10m offer for Everton’s Ben Godfrey | OneFootball

Olympique Lyonnais have already received one good bit of news as they prepare for the upcoming season, which will include an adventure in the UEFA Europa League – club captain Alexandre Lacazette will remain at the club and see out the final year of his contract, despite intense interest from Saudi Arabia.

Lyon are now looking to add to their squad as they look to add depth ahead of their upcoming European campaign. The Ligue 1 side are looking to reinforce their defence and, according to Sky Sports News journalist Dharmesh Sheth, have submitted a bid for Everton’s Ben Godfrey (26).

The Englishman’s contract with the Toffees expires at the end of next season, and last season, he found himself playing a bit-part role at the club. However, Sheth understands that OL’s first bid, thought to be worth £10m, has been rejected by the Premier League side. Les Gones may face competition from Atalanta for Godfrey, whom is valued at £15m for Everton.
