Everton winger Jack Harrison has revealed an inspiration of his throughout his career.

Many fans are unaware that Harrison and ex-Everton boss Frank Lampard were teammates at New York City FC in 2016.

While Harrison was a youngster at the time, Lampard was at the very end of a storied career.

In an interview with The Athletic, Harrison opened up about his conversations with Lampard, stating: “I remember asking for advice on a certain mentality, how to be. I sat in his room in the hotel and just chatted for half an hour.

"Because I had been brought up to be humble, having that ego and that confidence on the pitch was something that challenged me a little bit. When Frank stepped out on that pitch, he used to tell himself he was the best player. It doesn't have to be in a nasty way or anything.

"It probably took me a full year just to get used to being around them. Even when Patrick (Vieira) would walk in a room, I always felt like I'd done something wrong, like I was in school and the teacher had walked in or something!

“But he (Lampard) took me in. After the first year, we were joking. He is somebody that I really looked up to in my career."
