Sitting in 18th place, Ipswich Town are in desperate need of reinforcements if they intend to stay in the Premier League beyond the 2024/2025 season.
Kieran McKenna will likely be hopeful that Ipswich can survive, considering they need two points to escape the relegation zone.
Only five teams in the league this season have shipped more goals than Ipswich (33) this season, as their defence has been rather porous since being promoted.
Ben Godfrey from Atalanta has agreed to a loan agreement with Ipswich Town, according to TBR Football’s chief writer Graeme Bailey. Godfrey was signed by Ipswich ahead of Leeds United and Tottenham. Along with Wolves and West Ham United, Godfrey was also being pursued by Brentford and Brighton.
According to TBR Football, Kieran McKenna had lengthy discussions with the England international via Zoom, which convinced him that a transfer to Portman Road would be the best course of action for his future.
The former Everton centre-back has already agreed a loan move as well as undergone his medical.
Godfrey is set to be in attendance at Craven Cottage to watch Fulham host Ipswich.
According to TBR Football, Ipswich is quite proud of having landed an England international like Godfrey and outbid rival Premier League teams for his services.
If Leeds United is promoted the following season, TBR Football can also disclose that they plan to rekindle their interest in the 26-year-old and attempt to sign him in the summer.
The Whites were mainly unable to win the race to sign Godfrey due to still being in the Championship.
However, Leeds are currently the frontrunners in the second tier of English football with a three-point lead over Burnley.
