Frank Lampard has agreed a two-and-a-half-year deal to manage Everton, after what were described as swift and amicable negotiations.
And his first job will be to rubber-stamp at least two new Blues signings, with the Mersey club involved in complicated talks to bring two potential loan deals to the club…and a possible signing.
Lampard met Everton chairman Bill Kenwright in London on Sunday to thrash out the details of his contract, cutting a negotiation that would usually take a week down to 24 hours.
