Demarai Gray believes Everton were crying out for a focal point to lead their attack ahead of Neal Maupay’s arrival and explained the mentality change within the squad this season.
After months of speculation, the Blues eventually secured the services of Maupay from Brighton last month. However, the move came four games into Everton’s season.
Following the sale of Richarlison during the summer, and the injury picked up to Dominic Calvert-Lewin on the eve of the new season, Frank Lampard’s side were forced to kick-off their campaign with Anthony Gordon leading the line against Chelsea.
