Rio Ferdinand sends message on Twitter to Everton star after England announcement
Rio Ferdinand has sent a congratulations mess꧃age to Everton defender Ben Godfrey after he was named in Englan🦩d’s provisional squad for Euro 2020.
Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate has named a 33-man squad ahead of this summer’s major 🦄international tournament.
He ꦦwill trim that🔯 group down to 26 players on 1 June.
Godfrey has been joined in the England camp by Everton teammates Jordan Pickford and Dominic Calvert-Lewin,♐ who are both regulars in the national squad.
Godfrey only moved to Goodison Park la🐻st year from Norwich City, but has been one of Everton’s outstanding players of the season during his first year on Merseyside.
The athletic 23-year-old defendeꦅr has shown’s he’s got the versatility to slot into either full-back role if needed, but he’s a centre-back by trade.
His pace, strength and commitment is som꧅ething that has seen him become a mas𝓰sive Everton fan favourite.
It’s a first ever call-up to Eng🐈land’s s♌enior squad for Godfrey, and it’s kept him in the race to try get into the 26-man squad for the Euros.
Pundit and ex-England international Ferdina🤡nd has congra♋tulated the youngster on .
TBR’s View:
Ferdinand is clearly a huge admirer of Godfrey, which is a massive comp𒆙liment to him.
He’s already described by some Everton supporters as a captain in the making, that’s how big an impac🌸t he’s made.
It seems unlikely that he’ll be kept around for the 26-man sqꦡuad, but he’s got a chance to soak up the England senior squad and perhaps he’ll make a big enough impression in train🐼ing to convince Southgate.
