Tottenham Hotspur are said to be interested in signing the Leicester City winger.
However, Shakespeare insists that until a bid is placed which matches his valuation of Gray, the youngster will have to continue to be focused on the task ahead with the Foxes.
“I was driving home (on Monday) night, thinking I was coming to Burton with only seven or eight players,” Shakespeare said.
“I am hearing that Demarai is going somewhere, I’m hearing Drinky is going somewhere, I’m hearing Tom Lawrence is going somewhere.
“It is for me to stay calm, make sure the players stay focused because, ultimately, until we get a bid and it is accepted, nothing happens.
“Players sign contracts and until someone tells me otherwise, then we carry on as normal. That means turn up on time, train properly, if selected perform to the best of your ability.”
Gray is believed to be on Mauricio Pochettino’s wishlist at Spurs, as the Lilywhites aim to improve their squad.
Tottenham are yet to make a signing this summer, but are believed to be on the hunt for new additions.
Gray is yet to become a first-team regular at Leicester, but he has shown glimpses of the quality he has at his disposal, when given a chance to start.
Tottenham have a collection of exciting English youngsters currently in their squad, and reportedly feel that Gray would fit in well in North London.
