Harry Redknapp believes that nephew Frank Lampard is up against it in the transfer market this month, while other clubs are spending freely.
Everton travel to Redknapp's former club West Ham United tomorrow for what has turned into an early relegation zone six-pointer. And the Toffees are likely to come face-to-face with Hammers new-boy Danny Ings who was reportedly a loan target for Lampard earlier this month, before the 30-year-old completed a £15million permanent switch from Aston Villa to the London Stadium this week.
Speaking on TalkSPORT, Redknapp confirmed that he speaks to Lampard on the phone about his challenges at Goodison Park but did not offer much in the way of encouragement regarding new signings making their way to the Blues.
