Frank Lampard has warned Everton face another relegation battle without signings and internal improvement.
Everton have completed only one free transfer, the defender James Tarkowski, and sold the hugely influential Richarlison for an initial £50m to Tottenham to help improve last year’s accounts. The 27 Campaign – an alliance of several Everton fan groups – has organised a protest outside Goodison Park on Saturday over what it describes as the “complete mismanagement” of the club under the owner, Farhad Moshiri.
