Everton signing Dele Alli: I can learn so much from Lampard

Dele Alli thinks he can learn from Everton manager Frank Lampard.

Alli moved to Everton from Tottenham Hotspur on transfer deadline day for a fee that could eventually reach £40million.

And the 25-year-old has said the chance to work with Lampard motivated his decision.

"Frank is an amazing manager and an amazing person," Alli told Everton TV.

"He knows me very well as a player, I know him and his tactics and how he likes his teams to work.

"I can learn so much from him. He scored a lot of goals from midfield, I will speak to him about that and the way he fought on the pitch and what he did to make the most of his talent.

"Working with Frank and the amazing players here, it's a very attacking way of playing football, that's what I like to do, to be on the front foot, win tackles, get in the box and score goals.

"It is an easy place to be happy and an amazing opportunity to come and work hard and be on the pitch and help the team. That's what I want to do all the time."
