Newcastle United will look to raid Everton in the summer and could take advantage of the Toffees if they end up being relegated.
That’s according to a recent report from the Mirror, who claims the Magpies are interested in signing Everton defender Ben Godfrey.
Godfrey, 24, joined Everton during the summer of 2020 from then-Championship side Norwich in a deal worth £25m.
Since then, the young Englishman has gone on to play a key role for the Merseyside Blues, and despite the side enduring a tough campaign, Godfrey has remained a rare positive throughout.

However, should this season end in disaster for Frank Lampard’s Toffees, Eddie Howe is understood to be keen on bringing the 24-year-old to St James’ Park.
Since arriving at Goodison Park two years ago, Godfrey has featured in 50 senior matches and his deal, which sees him earn £68,000-per-week, is set to run out in 2025.
