Frank Lampard has discussed the importance of Everton's transfer plan following the exit of Richarlison, and admitted it was a shame to lose the Brazilian.
The forward brought a four-year spell at Goodison Park to an end earlier in the transfer window as he confirmed a big-money move to Tottenham Hotspur. The Blues have not yet oved in the market to replace the outgoing star despite links to numerous players, with the only arrival of the summer so far being James Tarkowski on a free.
However, the manager is fully aware of the task at hand facing him, and believes it is his job to address an "imbalance" in the squad before the 2022/23 campaign gets underway. Speaking to the Sound Of The Loons podcast, Lampard addressed why Richarlison left with the best wishes of everyone at Everton, and the crucial nature of what comes next.
