Nottingham Forest, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leicester City are chasing Atalanta’s Ben Godfrey.

That’s according to ASRomaLive.it, and they cover the Premier League trio and AS Roma’s interest in the defender.

The centre-back joined the Europa League winners from Everton in the summer window and has struggled for regular game time. To put it in context, he clocked in 67 minutes from four games and two of those appearances were in August.

Atalanta are willing to open the exit door as manager Gian Piero Gasperini has ‘already given green light’ for his departure, most likely in the winter market. Roma are aware but haven’t yet taken necessary steps to sign the defender.

The former Everton man is keen on leaving La Dea and the report says he could prioritise a move back to the Premier League. This would be an advantage for Nottingham Forest, Wolves and Leicester as all three clubs have already made ‘concrete’ enquires.

With Gasperini giving the green light, it’s possible the Reds, Wolves and the Foxes have contacted Godfrey’s camp. It’s not mentioned whether the three English clubs are looking to take him on loan or a permanent transfer.
