"Kuyt has always been a very important player. Playing as a striker, a second striker or a winger his commitment is always 100 per cent. His mentality is very positive and also his quality. He's the kind of player all the managers would like to have in their team," said Benitez.
"Always when you prepare the squad for each game we think, 'Who could play here, and who can play there?' Kuyt can play everywhere."
