Everton boss Frank Lampard says a new signing is on his way after defeat to Chelsea.

Lampard fielded a team without a striker on Saturday.

He revealed: “I thought we played well against a tough opponent. I thought the penalty was the only difference between the teams. One tiny lack of focus and they got their goal. I felt a draw would be a fair result.

“We've got no number nine so we had to be constantly mobile. That's a big ask on the first day of the season. I thought we did it OK today against a team of Chelsea's level. I thought we created them a lot of problems. I don't want to criticise the team too much because the mobility was good.

“We want to have a couple more options. We're all moving in that direction. Dominic [Calvert-Lewin]'s not going to be out forever. We've lost Richarlison. One player is being finalised as we speak. I don't want to stand here and say it's done, but we're very close."
