Frank Lampard believes that a mix of support and tough love could be the key to unlocking Dele's goalscoring instinct at Everton.
The midfielder could be set to start as a false nine against Chelsea when Thomas Tuchel brings his side to Goodison Park on Saturday evening. An injury suffered by Dominic Calvert-Lewin in training is set to keep the striker out for up to six weeks, while Salomon Rondon remains suspended after his red card against Brentford at the back end of the 2021/22 campaign.
Dele has been adept at finding the back of the net in large portions of his career, bagging double figures in terms of goals in each of his first two Premier League seasons at Tottenham Hotspur. However, the most recent pair of terms in the top division have yielded just one strike.
