Frank Lampard has admitted that Dele Alli ’s loan switch to Besiktas was the “right thing” for the midfielder and Everton.
The England international sealed a season-long loan move to the Turkish giants earlier this week, with a permanent switch potentially in the pipeline with a buy option slotted into the agreement that has taken him to the Super Lig club.
The 26-year-old’s move brings to an end a frustrating spell at Goodison Park having only become an Everton player in the January transfer window. Since exiting Tottenham Hotspur, he has made just 13 appearances for the Toffees - only one of those outings being a start - whilst he has also failed to find the net for the Merseyside club.
