Dele Alli and Alex Iwobi react to Demarai Gray Instagram post

There transfer window saw a few players join the club, as well as some also leave as Everton try to rebuild and push away from relegation.

Demarai Gray was clearly appreciated by some of his fellow players and past team mates who all went to his Instagram to wish him well.

Dele Alli a simple purple heart emoji, whilst Iwobi, who moved to Fulham this summer transfer window, “All the best my brother”.

Gray played 75 times for Everton since he signed from Leicester City and has some good moments, but arguably he did not have enough.

In his 75 appearances, the winger only managed 12 goals and six assists. Everton need attackers who are providing more goal contributions if they want to push further up the table.

Clearly Gray had the respect of his past team mates but it is now time for the club to push on with other attackers.
