Everton manager Frank Lampard says Dele Alli is getting a fresh slate at Goodison Park.

The English midfielder swapped Tottenham for the Toffees on deadline day after a torrid few seasons in north London.

"I watched Dele come through - fantastic player," said Lampard. "Maybe he's had difficult times - I would make no bones about that and nor would he. But there can be so many reasons for that.

"My job really now is to start with a fresh slate, to have him in an environment that suits him and supports him, but also to push him and to extract that player that we know is there. All the attributes, all the talent, all the technique - everything is still there.

"I think we're much more aware now of how there are many factors that can affect - in life and in sport - how happy you are doing your job and why it might not work in the right way.

"I'm very excited to have him and I'm very excited to have Donny. They're two fantastic players. They can come to this club and hopefully give us a lift."
