EPL: Everton midfielder Onana enjoying first months under Lampard

Everton midfielder Amadou Onana has enjoyed his first months under manager Frank Lampard.

Onana moved to Everton this summer from Lille.

He told evertonfc.com: “It’s been great so far. The past couple of weeks have just confirmed what my thoughts were beforehand – he’s a great manager and a nice human being as well.

“He’s full of ambition and he has a clear idea of how he wants to play football, which fits very well for me. There have been only positives. Of course, he was a midfielder as well and while we’re different players, I know I’m learning from the best. I’m just glad that I can work with him on a daily basis.”

Asked what he admired in Lampard as a player, Onana added: “His finishing… If I could finish as good as he could, I’d be happy with that! It’s something we talk about. He thinks that with my physical attributes I can score more and be more decisive.”
