Dwight McNeil has backed Frank Lampard to make him a better player after the winger completed his transfer from Burnley to Everton.
The Toffees announced the signing on Thursday afternoon, with McNeil agreeing a five-year contract as he departs Turf Moor for an undisclosed fee, reported to be in the region of £20million.
The 22-year-old scored seven goals in 137 Premier League appearances for the Clarets before leaving following their relegation last season.
McNeil, who started his career at Manchester United before joining the Burnley academy, revealed he is looking forward to working under Lampard. “It is an amazing feeling to sign,” he told evertontv. “When I heard about Everton’s interest I wanted to get it done straight away because of the club and how good the team is. “I feel playing under a manager like Frank Lampard, he will help me to get my stats up – and that is what I want to do and improve my game.
