Tottenham is having a lot of issues with Everton before the January transfer window opens.
In the win over Nottingham Forest, Ange Postecoglou praises Tottenham’s poise.
Everton is making Ben Godfrey, a 25-year-old center back, an offer of a new contract at Goodison Park in an attempt to thwart Tottenham’s January transfer for the player.
Arsenal has issued a warning that Arteta’s “problem” could cause their title run to collapse.
Spurs desperately need a new center half since their current group of players is getting old. Their defense has been severely injured. In recent weeks, Ashley Phillips and Micky van de Ven have both been sidelined, and the sale of Davinson Sanchez to Galatasaray, which occurred after the English summer transfer season closed, has backfired.
Due to Cristian Romero’s frequent suspensions, Ange Postecoglou has been obliged to start full-backs Ben Davies and Emerson Royal at center back.
Godfrey, who has been out of favor at Everton since Sean Dyche took over last season, is one of the players on Spurs’ shortlist. Godfrey’s contract is about to expire, thus potential suitors may be able to take him up for a reduced fee.
Tottenham is eager to acquire Ben Godfrey.
This season, the two-cap England international has only made three Premier League appearances. On the other hand, the Toffees have reportedly started negotiations regarding a new deal, per TeamTalk.
While Jarrad Branthwaite has surpassed him in the hierarchy as James Tarkowski’s choice back partner, they will hope that prevents Tottenham from pushing the player away.
Regarding the concerning state of his Spurs defense, Postecoglou told Sky Sports, “When you think about it, we let Davinson Sanchez go after the window closed.” We were aware that we were perhaps taking a chance when we failed to sign the additional center-back we were attempting to sign, but that was okay in the first half of the season.
“But we don’t have another center-back after we lost Micky [van de Ven] and Eric Dier had some problems. Since Young Ash Phillips had recently joined the club, it’s safe to state that we can’t take the chance that it will happen again. As a result, that will undoubtedly be our first focus in January.
“But once more, we must select the best candidate. It’s important to get the correct person in, which should happen, rather than just bringing another body in.
