Everton boss Frank Lampard has previously hailed Dele Alli as a ‘special player’ with ‘the world at his feet’ as the Toffees plot a late deadline day move for the Tottenham Hotspur midfielder.
The former Chelsea boss was appointed as the Merseyside outfit’s new manager on Monday afternoon as he became the man to replace Rafa Benitez at the helm.
Lampard showed no hesitation in turning to the transfer market to bolster his squad with the arrival of Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek, whilst it was also reported that Everton expressed their interest in Alli, with further reports suggesting that a deal had been agreed.
