Benevento keep Sagna, sign Goddard?

By Football Italia staff

Benevento are relegated to Serie B, but could both keep Bacary Sagna and bring in Cy Goddard from Tottenham Hotspur.

Le Streghe had their first ever Serie A campaign and had some surprising results, most notably their goalkeeper scoring a last-gasp 2-2 equaliser against Milan and the 1-0 victory at San Siro.

However, they were relegated straight back to Serie B after six wins, three draws and an all-time record 29 defeats.

Nonetheless, Sky Sport Italia claim Benevento are still attracting top drawer talent, even in Serie B.

Sagna was a surprise arrival in January and fell in love with the club and its fans, so it’s reported the 35-year-old ex-Arsenal and Manchester City star could stay for next season.

Another new entry could be 21-year-old creative midfielder Goddard, who is a free agent after his contract with Tottenham Hotspur expired.

Sky pundit Gianluca Di Marzio insists Goddard is ready to sign on for Benevento in Serie B.
