Frank Lampard says Dele Alli has a point to prove at Everton and insists the midfielder’s appetite for the game is not in question.
The 25-year-old has not started for Lampard’s relegation-threatened team since his deadline-day move from Tottenham, making six appearances from the bench. Alli’s minimal impact, after the sharp decline in his Spurs career, prompted Stan Collymore to suggest the former England international should considering retiring if he has lost hunger. Lampard has taken issue with Collymore’s criticism but accepts Alli needs to prove his detractors wrong over the final two months of the season.
