Ipswich Town, the EPL promotion team for the 2024-2025 season, announced on the 6th (Korea time) that it had hired Godfrey, an English defender who played for Atalanta, Italy, on loan.
Godfrey, who moved to Atalanta in June for a transfer fee of £11 million, returned to the EPL stage after seven months after being classified as an out-of-power player at Atalanta. The contract period is until the rest of the season.
Godfrey's entry to Ipswich created a huge buzz among football fans. It's because of his past record of foul play.
Godfrey is the one who caused controversy by stepping on Son Heung-min's side after he lost his balance and fell against Tottenham in 2021. Son Heung-min was in pain by holding the stepped part, but the referee did not issue a warning.
Godfrey faced heavy criticism against Arsenal in the same season for kicking Japanese defender Takehiro Tomiyasu in the face. Experts at the time said Godfrey's actions were highly intentional.

Godfrey also received interest from Tottenham, which was struggling with defense before his loan to Ipswich was confirmed. He almost became a teammate of Son Heung-min.
Tottenham's current main centre-back duo Mickey van der Penn and Christian Romero are on the long-term injured list.
Ben Davies and Destiny Udogi were also out of power due to injuries.
On the 4th, Newcastle lost 1-2 with a combination of center backs Radu Dragusin and Archie Gray.
It seems necessary to recruit additional defenders as they are winless by dedicating 11 goals in the last four games, but there is no news.
Son Heung-min and Godfrey are scheduled to meet again at their home stadium in Ipswich on February 23.
On the 9th, the first leg of the League Cup semi-final against Liverpool was scheduled at home. Son Heung-min, who played as a substitute in the second half against Newcastle, is likely to return to the starting lineup.
