Everton boss David Moyes feels Royston Drenthe is meeting the demands of what it takes to make it at Goodison Park.

Drenthe is on-loan from Real Madrid.

"It was apparent he possibly lacked a bit of self-belief when he arrived here, but the good thing is, the crowd really took to him. He has responded to that and looked a real threat at times," said Moyes.

"He is very quick and very sharp, one of the quickest around over a short distance. He is a powerful little boy as well, with a low centre of gravity, and I think he is beginning to get what this club is all about.

"He can see the desire everyone expects from an Everton player. He is never going to be the best defensively, but there is always a chance he is going to make something happen going forward.

"He needs to step up to that level as often as he can."
