Leicester City winger Demarai Gray has attracted the attentions of Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino.
Tottenham Hotspur transfer target Demarai Gray has told the FA’s official Youtube channel that the toughest opponent he has ever come up against is Kyle Walker.
Spurs are said to be tracking Gray, who has reportedly become frustrated with a lack of first-team chances at Leicester City, and could make a £22 million bid for the winger (Daily Mirror).
And Gray may well have already won favour with one of his potential teammates at Spurs, after his glowing praise for Walker.
“For me, playing against defenders, I’d say Kyle Walker,” the tricky winger said, when asked if who the toughest opponent he has played against is. “He’s athletic, he’s strong, he’s fast. He gave me a good test.”
If Gray does move to Spurs, he may have to get used to playing against Walker in training.
However, there are still some doubts over whether Walker will stay with Spurs this summer.
The England international defender is of interest to Manchester City, who are confident of bringing him to the Etihad Stadium (Daily Mirror).
Gray, meanwhile, is currently with the England under-21’s at the European championships.
England play their first match at the under-21 championships against Sweden tomorrow, with Gray expected to be handed a starting role.
