President Lampard looks to his first team, West Ham, and his uncle Harry Redknapp for inspiration as Everton fight for survival and try to become a proper force in the Premier League.

“We understand the importance of staying in the league, but no one gets a free ticket,” Lampard said.

“There are things I see in the long-term that I want to change to make the club better and I’ve had a lot of support with that.

West Ham have struggled against relegation, and they now have a great coach and one of the best young players in the world from their academy at Declan Rice, but all of those things have to work for them.
