Everton midfielder Tom Davies has praised Toffees teammate Ben Godfrey for how good he’s been since arriving at Goodison Park.

The 23-year-old joined Everton in October last year for a reported £25million deal, penning a five-year deal with the Blues.

Godfrey has made 25 appearances for Everton, of which 24 have been starts, and has been one of Toffees’ standout players in what has been a good season for the Goodison Park side.

The 6ft 1in ace has also shown his versatility this season, playing at centre-back, left-back and right-back under Ancelotti.

As a result, Godfrey and Everton teammate Davies have been called up to the Young Lions squad, hoping to end a 37-year wait for European Championship success.

“Ben took off as soon as he got here [Everton],” Davies told the Everton website.

“The physical side of his game and defensive knowledge and positioning and playing out from the back [are all attributes].

“To have him here is great, I know his strengths and that I can rely on him and how good he is – he has been fantastic. I am made up how well he’s done.

“He has been asked to play out of position at right-back and left-back and played in a back three.

“But Ben takes everything in his stride and is a confident lad and really good at what he does.

“Each position he’s played, he’s been fantastic and it‘s like he’s been there his whole career.

“I hope he can continue and show everyone how good he is in this tournament.”

A member of Norwich’s superb class of 2019-20, it was little surprise to see Godfrey remain in the top flight, and he’s currently doing superbly for Everton.

Admittedly, he could’ve easily made it into England’s squad for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

However, a great tournament for Godfrey is likely to see him make Gareth Southgate’s squad in the coming months.
