Frank Lampard knows Everton need a striker.
He knew that before Dominic Calvert-Lewin suffered a "freak" knee injury just days before the start of the new season. He knew that after Everton failed to score in the club's opening pre-season games in the US - leading him to highlight the forward "void" he felt existed within his squad back in late July.
And he probably knew it even before Richarlison was sold to Tottenham Hotspur in the final days of June. But right now it feels important to stress that Lampard recognises, like most Blues, that Everton need more options up top.
