Coady got 'goosebumps' after speaking with Everton manager Lampard

Conor Coady says he got 'goosebumps' when speaking to Everton manager Frank Lampard for the first time.

The Wolves captain has joined Everton on a season-long loan.

Asked about his excitement about playing for Lampard, Coady told the club's website: "The first conversation I had with him was a little bit surreal.

"He's one of the greatest English players of all time, one of the greatest midfielders of all time. It's probably one of the best phone calls I've ever had.

"Listening to the way he speaks about Everton, the passion he has for the club and the city and how he wants to improve was just amazing to hear.

"I'll be honest with you, I had goosebumps talking to him."
