Ben Godfrey, a 26-year-old defender, has officially signed with Atalanta. He leaves Everton after 112 matches over four seasons. The contract was signed on the same day as the medical examinations, which took place this morning.

Godfrey is a versatile defender capable of playing as a center-back in both three and four-man defenses, as well as a right-back. He also has experience playing as a defensive midfielder.

This could be a good deal if he returns to his form from a few years ago.
