Frank Lampard arrives at Everton's Finch Farm base ahead of his official unveiling as the club's new manager, with the former Chelsea boss poised to take training this afternoon after penning a two-and-a-half year deal

Frank Lampard has arrived at Everton's Finch Farm training base after signing a two-and-a-half year contract to replace Rafa Benitez as manager.

The Toffees sacked Benitez two weeks ago after a run of one win in 13 matches and have taken their time to find the right successor.

Lampard, Vitor Pereira and caretaker boss Duncan Ferguson all had second interviews with the Everton hierarchy on Friday, with the club then deciding on the former England international.

Despite not yet being officially announced, Lampard has signed his contract and was pictured being driven into the club's training ground on Monday morning.
