Everton boss Lampard calm about Calvert-Lewin Arsenal rumours

Everton boss Frank Lampard has no doubts over Dominic Calvert-Lewin's commitment.

The striker is being linked with Arsenal and West Ham.

But Lampard says: "Absolutely his commitment is there. He can't and I can't stop that type of talk. If you elevate yourself to the level of performance that he has shown, particularly as a striker, then it's very understandable that people talk about you in different ways.

"They talk about your form, they talk about how you live your life. With modern players, my job is to make sure they are absolutely focused. I haven't had to have that conversation with him because I know how determined he is.

"I know it isn't easy sometimes for players to vocalise that. What they need to do is show on the pitch and Dominic hasn't had the opportunity to do that this season. We feel like we have got him in a good place, so now is the time to show."
