Frank Lampard has explained why he wanted to sign Donny van de Beek on loan from Manchester United.
Everton were notably busy this January deadline day, rubber-stamping deals for two players before the 11pm cut-off as Lampard was himself officially unveiled as the club's new manager.
Leaving it late in the day, the Toffees completed a temporary move for van de Beek and followed that up with the permanent arrival of Dele Alli from Tottenham.
