Everton travel to north London this evening to face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League (8pm GMT kick-off). It will be a familiar venue for January deadline day signing Dele who could face his former side.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Blues boss Frank Lampard was asked regarding the midfielder's game time, pledging his time to start fixtures will soon come.

In quotes published in the Liverpool Echo, Lampard said: "I think most players want to come and speak to you and you expect that because most players have the desire to play.

"With Dele and the other players I try to have a relationship where I pre-empt that at times and speak with them regularly. So those conversations are always open.

"If players aren't playing there is a reason for it and I would much rather they know and they can find a way of getting themselves into the team. That happens on the training ground and how you train and behave every day.

"Since Dele has been here I cannot question that and some it will be working with myself and working on things he can improve on to be the player we want him to be.

"He has got huge talent, his attitude has been great, he has been available for four games and he has come on in all of those and made an impact.

"His time will absolutely come to start games."

In transfer news, The Athletic claims a contract extension has not yet been discussed with defender Jonjoe Kenny. 

According to its source, the Everton full-back has been pushing for a new deal after a good run of form within the team, but the Club haven't opened any discussions yet at this time.

Kenny's deal is set to expire at the end of the season.

Finally, Turkish outlets Sabah and Fotomac report that Beşiktaş have offered Blues forward Cenk Tosun a three-year deal.

The Turkish international's contract with the Club is set to expire in the summer.
