Doyle told BBC Radio Merseyside: "I am pleased. I think we would've liked to have seen more of him last season. I think when he came in he showed real glimpses, real promise and I think a player as well we have possibly lacked down the years - a fast, direct winger.

"I was fortunate enough to go to the away game down at Fulham, he made his debut that day, came on and he changed the game. He didn't score or create an assist but just his presence, his pace and the fact he was something a bit different than what was on offer at the time on the pitch.

"He really did make a change for us and I think in glimpses he really has shown that he has potential.

"I think for the cost we've paid for him, I know it's going to maybe add up to £24m with all the add-ons but the initial cost... I think if you're looking at a young prospect for less than £20m that we've paid up front, I think that at the moment represents really good value for Everton.

"The type of profile he is as well - young player, a lot of talent. It's the type of signing that I hope Everton are going to be making.

"I'm happy with it, excited to see what he may bring in the future. I just hope he gets a lot of game time next season."
