Frank Lampard has revealed Everton have a budget to spend this month and refused to be drawn on speculation linking the club with a move for Danny Ings.
The Everton boss has been vocal about his side’s need for reinforcements ever since the Premier League paused for the World Cup. The Blues are in desperate need of attacking options as they aim to move out of the relegation zone.
The ECHO reported on Friday that work is ongoing behind-the-scenes, with Manchester United winger Anthony Elanga among what is said to be a detailed list of targets. However, no new faces have yet arrived at the club, with the exception of Ellis Simms, who has returned from a successful loan spell at Sunderland.
