Everton midfielder James Garner has talked up the influence Frank Lampard is having on him following his summer switch from Manchester United.
Garner has so far made just two substitute appearances for the Toffees. With fellow new signings Amadou Onana and Idrissa Gueye having enjoyed strong starts, the former United man has struggled to nail down a spot in the starting XI.
But he is clearly well thought of by Blues boss Lampard. And the feeling is clearly mutual, with Garner revealing the key pieces of advice given to him by Lampard. “He’s asked me to get on the ball, shoot, cross and just try to create as much I can,'' Garner told official club media.
