Souness revealed Lampard was his pick and Clement was asked for his thoughts on that admission.
Philippe Clement says he's not bothered Rangers legend Graeme Souness preferred Frank Lampard for the job - because he has it now and he's focused on getting it right.
Former boss Souness though said on talkSPORT this week that Lampard was the man for him. He said it was close between the Englishman and the man who eventually got the job, but Lampard was his pick - pointing to Everton's continues struggles since he left and the impossible job he had on his hands at Chelsea. And while Clement takes a lesson from Souness' outspoken admission, he insists it doesn't faze him in the slightest.
"I'm not here to talk about rumours or things that are spread, because that was not the real story what he said. I'm busy with the team, that's what's important.
