Atalanta have completed the signing of Everton defender Ben Godfrey for an undisclosed fee. 

The Italians opening offer of £8.5m for the 26-year-old was dismissed by Everton but Atalanta returned with a second bid in excess of £10m. 

Lyon and AC Milan had also made proposals for Godfrey who had one year left on contract. Godfrey joined from Norwich for £25m in 2020 and saw a January move to Atalanta fall through.

Everton are finalising terms for Marseille forward Iliman Ndiaye but are still awaiting a new bid from Manchester United for Jarrad Branthwaite.

Godfrey made 90 senior appearances during his time at Everton.
