Lampard wants depth now

With the injury to Dominic Calvert-Lewin looming over the membership – who’s reportedly out for six weeks – Lampard must act shortly to plug this hole earlier than his facet begins to fall behind within the league.

Ought to Everton signal a confirmed Premier League striker or take a threat in Europe?

Regardless of working laborious and main the press, the Toffees had been toothless at Goodison Park and struggled to create any clear-cut possibilities in opposition to Lampard’s previous facet on the opening weekend of the season.

Not solely this, however Calvert-Lewin’s absence additionally means they’re with out assured objectives, as throughout the 2020/21 season he hit the again of the online an especially spectacular 16 occasions within the league.

Since then, nevertheless, accidents have plagued the England worldwide and he has struggled to place a run of video games collectively with out breaking down as soon as once more.

With the brand new season now underway, and final season’s top scorer (ten league objectives) additionally not on the membership anymore after Richarlison left for Tottenham Hotspur, it makes for a scary prospect for Everton.

Lampard should act shortly, and whether or not it’s a Premier League striker or a European prospect, his facet are determined for a focus from which they’ll construct their mess around.

Till that particular person is discovered, the workforce are left in a limbo state the place they’ll battle for objectives. They want depth, and so they want it now.
