Royston Drenthe has said that he is enjoying life at Everton since joining on loan from Real Madrid.

During the Dutchman's injury lay-off, rumours began to appear claiming that Drenthe had fallen out with manager David Moyes.

The attacking midfielder has since dismissed those claims.

"It was really frustrating that I was injured for three weeks," said Drenthe.

"I couldn't train because it would have made it worse, but to play again and be important for the team gives me a good feeling.

"The moment I came in the gaffer told me 'Try to do whatever you can and when you get the ball go direct and use your quality'.

"I have a responsibility because I know my quality and if I have to go home with the feeling I haven't done what I could do, it is always a bad feeling."

Drenthe made his debut for the Toffees in the 2-2 draw with Villa in September.
