As long as Dele Alli produces on the pitch then I’ll be happy, says Frank Lampard

Everton manager Frank Lampard believes it would be detrimental to “handcuff” individual personalities like Dele Alli after his new signing came in for criticism over his appearance. Former England boss Glenn Hoddle said the player looked like he had been “dragged off the street” when he was presented to the crowd at half-time of Saturday’s FA Cup victory over Brentford. Lampard, however, wants players to be themselves and express their individuality.
