Demarai Gray has revealed he enjoyed his time working under Rafa Benitez and remains grateful to the Spaniard for providing him with the opportunity to become a 'valued member' of the Everton squad.
The Blues recruited the 26-year-old as part of a £1.7million deal last summer and instantaneously reaped the rewards of this purchase after the winger produced a return of three goals in his opening four Premier League appearances for the club.
Gray's attacking output tailed off as the campaign progressed, though the Birmingham City academy graduate did produce a vitally important late winner in a 2-1 victory over Arsenal to end an eight-game run without a league triumph.
