Brøndby IF is nearing an agreement to sign 28-year-old English defender Ben Godfrey on a loan deal for the remainder of the season. The player is currently under contract with Atalanta, who acquired him from Everton in the summer of 2024 for a fee that the BBC reported was ten million pounds. Godfrey's recent loan spell at Sheffield United was considered unsuccessful and ended at the turn of the year.
