I'm eager to get started and can't wait for my first game in an Everton shirt," Alli said after signing the contract."I'm looking forward to helping the team and the opportunity to work with the new manager Frank Lampard. I've had a few good conversations with him (Lampard) already; he's a player I admired through his whole career watching him. I'm pleased to work with him… it's very exciting, I'm sure we can do great things together."I just want to be happy playing football. Working with Lampard, and the great players Everton have got, is a great opportunity for me to do that. I'm excited to go there, show the fans what I can do, and help the Club as much as I can."Dele had won the 'Young Player of the Year' award in his debut EPL campaign in 2015/16 after reaching double figures for goals. According to evertonfc.com, he scored 18 Premier League goals in 35 starts in his second Spurs season and claimed PFA young-player honours for a second straight campaign.The midfielder, who represented England at the 2016 European Championship and Nations League finals in 2019, directly contributed to 20 Premier League goals scoring nine in 2017/18, said the club website.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
