Frank Lampard has reiterated that recruitment will be vital for Everton over the course of the summer as they attempt to pull themselves back up the Premier League next season.
The Blues confirmed their survival in the penultimate match of the 2021/22 campaign in dramatic fashion, coming back to win 3-2 against Crystal palace at Goodison Park to spark emotional scenes from the fanbase. It will no doubt be an important transfer window for the club to improve the squad to try and avoid a similar fight next term.
Everton have already confirmed the arrival of James Tarkowski while a number of players have left Goodison Park, including Richarlison in a big-money move to Tottenham Hotspur. And Lampard is under no illusion that it's vital to get the club's future dealings right.
