Ipswich Town have completed the loan signing of Atalanta’s Ben Godfrey on a deal until the end of the season.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Godfrey is the first player through the door at Portman Road in January as the Tractor Boys aim to bolster their defensive options going into the second half of 2024\/25.<\/p>\n

The former Everton and Norwich defender has barely featured for his parent club this campaign. Nonetheless, the 26-year-old is expected to feature heavily for Kieran McKenna’s side.<\/p>\n

Godfrey has plenty of Premier League<\/a> experience from his time at Goodison Park and Carrow Road. However, he will need minutes to get up to speed after struggling in Italy.<\/p>\n

The former England player joins the club after Ipswich were denied a valuable three points at Fulham on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Subsequently, the Suffolk side are still in the relegation zone after Raul Jimenez’s injury-time penalty<\/a> ensured a share of the spoils in west London.<\/p>\n
