Arsenal should battle Liverpool for promising Norwich defender Godfrey

Liverpool are readying a summer bid for Norwich City’s talented central𝓡 defender Ben G🅘odfrey,

They that the Reds have been💙 keepi🍎ng close tabs on the 21-year-old Englishman this season as he has played a pivotal role in Norwich’s charge towards promotion back to the Premier League.

An attr🍬active, passing game has been integral to that rise and Godfrey is just one of many young Three Lions player now who are perfectly comfortable with that – and that’s exactly what Liverpool need.

£10m is the benchmark for any bid for t🍌he Englisꦅhman and that seems a reasonable price for a young, homegrown player who is only going to get better.

And another club who could use defensive r♎einforcements are Arsenal. Unai Emery has done a great deal of good work with the Gunners since taking over last summerꩲ but the heart of his defence remains a concern.

Some of their fans may feel they ne꧃ed a more experienced presence but they haven’t got the money – or, if they remain outside the Champions League, the clout – to land♈ a Virgil van Dijk type.

Rob✃ Holding was arguably Arsenal’s 🔴best defender this season before injury cruelly cut his season short at Old Trafford in December and Godfrey could have a similar impact – if Arsenal join the race with Liverpool.
