Neal Maupay makes Dominic Calvert-Lewin claim as Idrissa Gueye Everton decision made

Your Everton morning headlines for Sunday, September 18.

Maupay makes Calvert-Lewin claim

Neal Maupay has described how he can play alongside Dominic Calvert-Lewin at Everton and detailed his frustration that he couldn't make his debut for his new side sooner.

The striker arrived at Goodison Park in the summer transfer window from Brighton.

In midfield, fans are desperate to see the trio of Amadou Onana, Alex Iwobi and Idrissa Gueye. That is surely the way Lampard will go if the latter is up to the required fitness, although if he isn't the recent form of Tom Davies means there is no need to panic.
