Everton announced Frank Lampard as their new manager on a busy transfer deadline day for Premier League clubs.
Everton, Newcastle and Burnley were all active on Monday as the sides towards the bottom of the table were responsible for most of the business done.
Lampard was unveiled as the Toffees’ new boss, bringing to an end a dramatic two-week search for Rafael Benitez’s successor.
The former Chelsea boss is expected to make his first signings before the end of the day, with Donny van de Beek set to join on loan from Manchester United and reports of a move to sign out-of-favour Spurs midfielder Dele Alli.
“It is a huge honour for me to represent and manage a club the size and tradition of Everton Football Club,” said Lampard.
“I’m very hungry to get started.”
