Frank Lampard insists he's not paying too much attention to Ange Postecoglou's recent links to Everton.

The Celtic gaffer has been touted as a possible replacement for the Chelsea legend should the Toffees look for a change in manager.

The Goodison Park side are struggling this season, carrying on from their poor form last term.

They currently sit just above the relegation places in 17th spot of the Premier League.

The Merseyside club only just avoided relegation to the Championship last season in a tumultuous campaign that saw Lampard take over from Rafa Benitez midway through.

In contrast, Celtic are going from strength to strength under Postecoglou after their success last term. 

Not only did the Aussie implement an entertaining, attacking style of play, he won the title in his first year in charge, as well as the League Cup. 

His impressive work in Glasgow also secured Champions League qualification for the first time in five years for the club.

This hasn't gone unnoticed south of the border, with the likes of Brighton and Wolves said to be monitoring his progress.

Everton have also been included in that bracket.

But Lampard says he doesn't listen to any speculation surrounding his position, something he learned during his time in charge of Chelsea.

He told Perth Now: “When you take this job you understand that talk is going to come, particularly if you take on a job like Everton, and where we were last season.

“There’s a bit of a process to try to get us back to where we want to be, The Premier League’s so competitive it means that you go through these patches.

“I’m pretty good at not paying too much attention to (coaching rumours), just understanding what it is.

“You go from one week from being best manager in the world after an amazing result to (the opposite) – it can go both ways.

“It’s fine. I’m fortunate to do the job I do, and I’m fortunate to have had a really long playing career. It gives me good context. I try to stay pretty level headed."

On the trip Down Under itself, Lamps added: “It’s a really huge club, with a rich history and a passionate fan base. I’ve really enjoyed being there."
