Everton defender Ben Godfrey is confident he'll learn from new manager Rafa Benitez.

Godfrey's performances and versatility in his debut season at Everton under Carlo Ancelotti earned him an England call up.

It has been all part of the rise for the talented young defender, who is now hoping to shine under Benitez at centre back.

"Everyone has bought into his ideas and his philosophy at the moment, it is never easy for a manager coming in and just having pre-season to get across the way he wants us to play," said Godfrey to the Daily Star.

"It's not easy but he's done it unbelievably well, we have started well, it is a long season and he is taking time out to coach me as well which I've really enjoyed.

“He's worked with top players and won things himself, to have him as a coach is massive," said Godfrey.

“I'm learning each and every day."
