Everton boss Frank Lampard admits he wants to sign a striker in January.

Lampard concedes he wanted to add another over the summer after Neal Maupay's arrival from Brighton.

He told the Liverpool Echo: "We have Dominic [Calvert-Lewin]. And I know people know that Dominic had his injury problems, and we bring in Neal [Maupay], but the reality is with the transfer market, at the back end of the window, a striker is the hardest position to recruit in because they are very much at a premium. So when the market is difficult in that area of the pitch it's not as simplistic as to say we could bring in a number nine.

“When you can't fix the world in one window, sometimes you have to take a plan that says: 'Ok, well, we're happy now with what we did for the window.' And I think the general consensus is we were pretty happy. And then the reality is you then miss Dom for most of that period."
