EVERTON star Amadou Onana believes Frank Lampard is still better than many of his team-mates.
The midfielder revealed he gets on very well with his manager and is trying to learn a thing or two from the Toffees boss by watching his old videos.
Lampard scored 177 Premier League goals before retiring in 2016 but Onana believes he has not lost his magic.
But the summer signing said Lampard does not show off and is humble in his approach to management.
He told The Telegraph: “He’s still very good, but he doesn’t really want to show it because he’s not a show off guy. But we all know he’s better than many of us.
“I have watched his clips and goals and I think if I had his shooting ability I would be a very good player.

“He didn’t tell me to watch them, no he didn’t, he is a very humble guy and that is what I like about him.
He could have been like: ‘Hey I am Frank Lampard, look at what I did.’ But he is really not like that.
“He is just trying to be a humble guy speaking to us normally and respectfully. I really like him.”
Lampard’s humble approach guided Everton to safety last season and they are 12th in the Premier League with 14 points from 13 games.

But he is yet to turn Onana into a goalscorer with the midfielder failing to score in his first 13 Everton games.
He missed a great chance to score against Tottenham last month but has still proved to be a hit on Merseyside since his £33million move.
