Everton great Andy Gray has spoken of his relief that his old club failed to land Jesse Lingard - but believes Blues supporters need something to inspire them right now.
As reported by the ECHO earlier this month, Everton were considering a move for Lingard as a possible replacement for Richarlison and talks with the England international had taken place.
However, Lingard instead opted to join newly-promoted Nottingham Forest following his release from Manchester United. The midfielder has now become the highest-paid player in the club’s history after he penned a one-year deal on Thursday night.
