Everton: Frank Lampard wants three more signings after James Tarkowski
Everton manager Frank Lampard wants to bring in three more signings this summer after James Tarkowski’s arrival at Goodison Park, according to reliable journalist Mark Douglas.
The Lowdown: Everton’s transfer window so far
The Toffees have made just one addition to their squad so far this summer, with the former Burnley centre-back joining the Merseyside club on a free transfer.
Everton have been linked with a number of forwards, including Chelsea’s Armando Broja and Burnley’s Maxwel Cornet, but strong progress is yet to be made with any of those pursuits.
As a result, Lampard’s search of the marketplace goes on, with the new Premier League season now less than a fortnight away.
The Latest: Douglas’ update
The i Paper’s northern football correspondent Douglas has shared news of Everton’s latest activity in the transfer market.
As per the i’s report, the Toffees are ready to progress discussions with Chelsea over a move for Broja, the 20-year-old who was given his Premier League debut by Lampard.
Additionally, it is claimed that the 44-year-old wants to make three more signings this summer, with Scotland international Billy Gilmour also a target for Everton’s midfield.
The Verdict: Everton need signings
Having sold the hugely influential 2021/22 top scorer Richarlison to Tottenham for £60m earlier this summer, Lampard believes that there is a void in Everton’s squad.
As per The Guardian, he claimed: “When you think of where we were last year, we have lost a big player in Richarlison … we wish him well, but our club now continues. We know there is a void in forward areas, we are short in numbers there. Also, through the team there are things I want to strengthen and I can be honest about that, because a club like Everton has to have a competitive squad.”
If the Toffees continue without making any changes to their squad, it would be hard to envisage anything much better than a repeat of last season’s struggle against relegation.
Therefore, the remainder of the transfer window looks set to be pivotal for Lampard, Farhad Moshiri and co.
