Everton boss Lampard welcomes new midfield pair Gueye, Garner

Everton boss Frank Lampard was left delighted with their summer market work.

Everton signed midfield pair Idrissa Gueye (PSG) and James Garner (Manchester United) on deadline day.

Lampard said, "I am very pleased. I'm pleased the window is shut and it has probably complicated it slightly being so far into the season. I think we were strategic with how we have approached it, from owner to chair to board.

"Hopefully that reflects in what we get now. When I look at the squad I'm happy now it's time to get our heads down and work.

"Idrissa Gueye is a player for the now. The club know him very well and he knows the club. In terms of the quality as a deeper lying midfielder he gives me a different profile of player. With James Garner, he is a young player with lots of energy and quality and he will improve us. I think it's a sensible move for us. We have good competition in there as well and that is important over the course of the season."
