Demarai Gray says he is relishing the opportunity to lead from the front for Everton, while highlighting a mentality shift under manager Sean Dyche. He has spoken at length with Everton’s website:

“I think we’ve shown our mentality over the past few games. The 1-0 against Brentford, we had our backs to the wall for a lot of that second half but rode it out and got the win... over the past few weeks I think there have been a lot of improvements. There is still a lot of work to be done but we want to build a foundation and I think we’re getting that. Then it’s about working on other little details that will make us an even better team.” [EFC]
