Everton defender Mason Holgate admits he's excited playing for manager Frank Lampard.
Holgate also appreciates the presence of assistant coach Ashley Cole.
Having such a recent domestic icon at the helm has been a galvanising act at Finch Farm reckons Holgate who told the Liverpool Echo: “It's definitely inspirational. Quite a few of the lads in the squad now are in and around my age.
“I think (when they were children) is the prime age of when the boss was playing and we've grown up watching him and Ash (Cole) as well.
“Whatever people like that say, you're going to take it because you've grown up watching them being at their peak and being the best players in the league.
“We want to win things and that's what we're all striving to do."
