Frank Lampard is very confident that he will soon be able to bag the contract extensions of three top performers. ‘Sky Sports’ quote the Everton manager as follows on the situation of Anthony Gordon (21/contract until 2025), Alex Iwobi (26/contract until 2024) and first-choice goalkeeper Jordan Pickford (28/contract until 2024): “We are close to them. We’re in a situation where we want the players to stay and they want to stay here too.”
According to the coach, this is not a new situation, but has been the case for a long time. “It’s always been like this, so we’re very close”, explains the former professional. Additionally, Lampard would like to welcome new players to the Toffees this winter: “We want to strengthen the squad in January and have more attack options. When the right players are available we have to try to improve.”
