Amadou Onana has lifted the lid on what Frank Lampard told him shortly before his Goodison Park debut against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
The midfielder was introduced for his second Everton match in the second half at the weekend, having also been brought on from the bench the previous week away to Aston Villa. He was met with a raucous reception from the crowd upon his introduction before getting over half an hour to show his talents.
And the 21-year-old has revealed the message that he was given before entering the fray by his manager. The new Blues man also highlighted the importance of his teammates in helping him settle on Merseyside as quickly as he has.
