'I'm here to show the best part of Dele' - Dele Alli says Frank Lampard is the "perfect" manager for him at Everton

Dele Alli is backing new Everton manager Frank Lampard to get the best out of him, with the pair both hoping to change the recent fortunes in the blue corner of Merseyside. The England midfielder moved to Goodison Park from Tottenham on deadline day at the end of the January transfer window having fallen out of favour in north London.

A strong relationship with his manager is clearly key to Alli, and speaking to Everton TV, he made it clear he cannot wait to work with Lampard, saying, “He is an amazing manager and an amazing person as well”. “Speaking to him and admiring him so much as a player, and what he’s done so far as a manager – I think it’s amazing”, he said.

/> The pair could both make their respective debuts in the FA Cup against Brentford on Saturday, with Alli hoping to fit straight into the way Lampard wants to set up his team. “He knows me very well as a player and I know the tactics he likes and how he likes to play, and how likes his teams to work.

So, I feel like it’s a perfect match and I can’t wait to get going”, he said. Comparisons could be drawn on a similarity in playing styles between Alli and his new manager,
