Godfrey rejects Man Utd to pen long-term Norwich extension

Norwich City defender Ben Godfrey has ended speculation over a potential move to Manchester United after a penning a new contract extension with the Canaries.

The 21-year-old, who played a key role in their succesful Championship-winning campaign in 2018-19, had been linked with the Red Devils and Tottenham.

He will now be contracted to the Carrow Road club until 2023.

"I'm delighted to commit my future to such a great club with ambitions and goals similar to mine in terms of staying at the highest level and I'm looking forward to next season," he stated.

"There's only so long you can go without a ball at your feet before you get a little bit bored. I miss the boys, I miss training everyday and I miss the atmosphere around the training ground.

"I'm now looking forward to getting back to working hard."
