Frank Lampard has rejected Richarlison’s claims that Everton lack ambition ahead of their reunion on Saturday.
Richarlison quit Everton to join Tottenham for £60million in the summer and questioned the ambition of his former club in a recent interview. Lampard refused to criticise the Brazil striker and respects him for playing a leading role in last season’s survival act when he was their top scorer with 10 goals.
But he insists Everton do want to progress, claiming he would not have come to Goodison Park if he felt the club lacked ambition.
