Godfrey is Toffees fastest player - Iwobi

Everton star Alex Iwobi has claimed that Ben Godfrey is the fastest player at the club and not Anthony Gordon.

Frank Lampard seems to have turned it around at Goodison Park. The Toffees have looked good this season, and Iwobi has been one of their star performers in his new central midfield position.

In an interview with the Premier League, the Nigerian has claimed that Gordon is actually ‘very rapid’, but there’s one player at the club who’s even faster than him – Godfrey.

“Anthony’s very rapid, you know? He could be one of the quickest in the team.

“Ben (Godfrey) is the quickest – facts. But Anthony will try and say it’s him.”

Godfrey has had a torrid time with injuries.

He missed the last seven games of last season due to a thigh problem, and just when he was hoping to put all the fitness issues behind him, he suffered another terrible injury on the opening day of the new season.

The 24-year-old isn’t expected to be back any time soon. He is likely to remain sidelined until after the World Cup, which means there’s a small chance he may not play again this year.

Everton have a solid back four and midfield now and it will be interesting to see where Godfrey will fit in once he returns from his injury.
