Everton winger Demarai Gray is enjoying life under Rafa Benitez.

The former Leicester City attacker signed from Bayer Leverkusen this summer.

Gray, who signed a three-year deal at Everton, is raring to go for the new Premier League season.

Despite some fans questioning the appointment of ex-Liverpool boss Benitez, Gray is loving life at the Toffees so far.

"I don't think there's been a training session yet where Rafa hasn't told me something I can improve," he told the club's website.

"But I wouldn't have it any other way.

"I don't want to be told what I am good at – everyone knows what they are good at. I want to be told what I can work on.

"I am happy I have a manager like that, an honest manager. I am confident I am going to improve with him.

"For me, it is about achieving consistency and scoring goals and being productive at the top end of the pitch.

"I am an attacker and that is what I am paid to do: put the ball in the net and help create goals for the team, help the team get points.

"I genuinely have a good feeling I am going to progress with Everton and the next few years are going to be some of my best."
