Andros Townsend reveals what Rafa Benitez wants from him

Andros Townsend has revealed that Everton boss Rafael Benitez wants him to focus mainly on his output in the final third.

Eyebrows were raised when Benitez signed the 30-year-old winger on a free transfer after he was released by Crystal Palace this summer. Everton operated on a tight budget, with the club spending very little in the market.

However, the likes of Townsend and Demarai Gray have impressed heavily for the Toffees. The former Tottenham Hotspur winger was brilliant against Southampton where he provided an assist and he also impressed during Everton’s 2-1 win over Huddersfield in the EFL Cup.
