Frank Lampard heaps praise on new £34m Everton star Amadou Onana as a midfielder with 'many great qualities' who has the potential to 'get BETTER'... with the Toffees boss looking to bolster his squad to have them looking up rather than down this season

Frank Lampard has hailed Everton’s signing of Amadou Onana and believes that his arrival can help transform the club’s fortunes.

Everton beat West Ham to the 20-year-old from Lille and the £33million signing has excited Lampard, especially as he was determined to revamp the club’s midfield this summer.

Onana has signed a five-year deal and he is expected to be joined soon by Idrissa Gueye, who is finalising his return to Merseyside from Paris Saint-Germain.
