As Frank Lampard gears up for his first summer in charge at Goodison Park, he will know he needs backing in the transfer market if he is to guide Everton away from the threat of Premier League relegation once and for all.

Lampard's men have been linked with players such as Harry Winks and Conor Gallagher in recent days, but have yet to pounce on either of the midfielders.
