Frank Lampard hopes Everton's summer signings have brought a blend of experience and potential that will strengthen the club in both the short and long term.
The Blues appeared to adopt a two-pronged approach to business this summer, moving for players who had operated in the Premier League before and could immediately have an impact, as well as younger stars who could grow under their direction.
Two themes underpinned those younger signings - the hope their potential could be quickly accessed and the strength of character Lampard believes is crucial to laying the foundation for a better future.
