‘Impressive’: Garth Crooks hails leadership of Everton 23-year-old
Garth Crooks raved about Everton’s Ben God🌌frey after his individual performance at the weekend.
Godfrey, who jo♍ined last summer for £25million () from Norwich City, has had a strong debut season a♋t Goodison Park.
The 23-year-old defender has shown his versatility by p♔laying across the entire backline during various parts of the season, but in recent months he’s been in his preferred centre-back position.
He’s an aggressive centre-half with a no-nonsense approach to his defende��r, plus he’s got great athleticism and 𓃲speed.
BBC pundit Crooks spotted huge leadership from the English youngster inꦛ Everton’s 1-0 win away to West Ham on Sunday.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side earned three valuable points at the London Stadium on the weekend, which keeps their Premi💞er League season firmly alive as they hunt down a European finish.
“This was an impressive display by Everton at London𝓰 Stadium and the feature of their game was their defending. Ben Godfr🦩ey in particular was impressive,” Crooks wrote for .
“The defender has made something of a nܫame for himself due to his comp♐etitive nature but also has an eye for a pass as he showed, sending Dominic Calvert-Lewin on his way to an excellent finish. The ball was brilliant.
“This lad has grown into a proper Premier League defender. I also got the impression that Godfrey was not afraid to take charge of Everton’s defensive responsibilit🌜ies when Yerry Mina went off through injury.”
TBR’s View:
If you consider 💟it’s only Godfrey’s second full season in the top flight, then he’s got a really ex🌌citing future ahead of him.
Everton took a chance on hi🌠m after he caught the eye in a Norwich team that were rele🏅gated in the 2019/20 campaign, and this season he’s made a big impact on Merseyside.
He’s become a nailed𝓰-on starter within a competitive Toffees squad, something which very few expected when the season started.
