Ange Postecoglou hopes to secure an Atalanta player as a ‘Christmas gift’

Tottenham Hotspur’s injury-riddled backline has reportedly led them to explore reinforcements, with whispers of interest in Ben Godfrey gaining traction.

The former Everton defender, now playing for Atalanta, could offer the versatility Spurs desperately need as they navigate a challenging Premier League season.

Godfrey, who moved to Italy in the summer, hasn’t quite settled into his new surroundings.
