Jamie Carragher raves about Everton defender Ben Godfrey

Jamie Carragher has showered heaps of praise on Everton defender Ben Godfrey.

The Sky Sports pundit suggested on Monday Night Football that Godfrey has been a ‘brilliant signing’ for Everton.

The 23-year-old joined the Toffees during the summer transfer window for a reported fee of £25 million from Norwich City.

He has managed 13 starts in the Premier League thus far and has showcased his versatility in recent games by playing as a left-back in the absence of Lucas Digne.

Carragher says that he was ‘outstanding’ against Leeds United, and feels that he will eventually play as a centre-back alongside Michael Keane.
