Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are keen on Leicester City’s Demarai Gray.
The paper report the player is aware of growing interest from Champions League sides Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool.
Gray made only nine Premier League starts last season and wants to know if he will get a more prominent role with the Foxes next season.
The England under-21 star is a potentially elite talent, scoring twice at the recent European Championships, he also has a Premier League winner’s medal already, and has starred in the Champions League.
Conceivably if Gray is not happy with Shakespeare’s response, he could start agitating for a transfer away from Leicester, although the smart play from the 2015/16 title winners would be to give him more playing time – a real possibility with Riyad Mahrez likely to exit the club.
Leicester City’s Riyad Mahrez… possibly leaving
What Gray likely expects to hear is whether Leicester plan to bring in a replacement for Mahrez if the Algerian leaves, or if he will get his first team spot.
The young winger is an exciting talent who showed for the under-21s that he is also able to operate as a striker.
That versatility makes him attractive to the top sides chasing him, although Tottenham have more of a need for wingers than Liverpool, who just spent a club record fee to sign Egyptian international Mohamed Salah.
