Everton manager Frank Lampard has outlined what Dele Alli needs to do to get into his starting line-up. The England international joined the Blues from Tottenham Hotspur on deadline day – just hours after Lampard was appointed – in a highly-structured deal that while initially a free transfer, could potentially be worth up to £40million. Asked if he’d spoken to Dele as to why he wasn’t in the team and what his future was beyond the summer,
Frank Lampard said: “I have had those discussions with him, he’ll be very clear as to where I am and at the moment I’m much more concerned about the collective getting over the line as a group. If Dele plays his part in these three games then great and he steps up as he’s come on at times and done good things for us.”
