Frank Lampard does not believe Dominic Calvert-Lewin has had his head turned by speculation linking him with Newcastle United and Arsenal this summer. The Toffees striker is coming into the final year of his contract and Everton could cash in on the 25-year-old this summer.
Calvert-Lewin has missed a large chunk of the current season through injury, but Lampard expects him to play a vital part in their remaining games in the Premier League. The Blues are still lodged in a relegation battle, but look to have given themselves some breathing space ahead of their final two games of the season.
There has been question marks raised by onlookers about the England international's attitude, but the Everton boss has been quick to defend his star striker. Lampard told the Mail: "He is a fantastic striker, the pedigree of striker that there aren't many around. It's been unfortunate for me, I think, that I haven't had him fit.
