Swansea City are the latest side to be linked with the Leicester City winger, after Tottenham Hotspur, Everton and Bournemouth.

Swansea City are ‘in the hunt’ to sign Leicester City winger Demarai Gray, joining Tottenham Hotspur, Everton and Bournemouth, according to The Sun (August 2, page 46).

It was reported earlier this week that Gray has held talks with Leicester to discuss a possible transfer away from the King Power Stadium (Sky Sports).

The 21-year-old has previously expressed his frustration about his lack of game time since joining the Foxes 18 months ago.

And Swansea are the latest club to be linked with rescuing the player, who The Sun reports in valued at £25 million by Craig Shakespeare’s team.

The Swans could lose Gylfi Sigurdsson – a former Tottenham player – to Everton this summer, with a £50 million deal mooted (The Guardian).

And should the Toffees’ pursuit prove successful, the Welsh side should have little trouble meeting the above valuation for Gray, who could potentially replace the Iceland international.

But Tottenham could pose the biggest threat to both Swansea and Everton’s chances, as they can offer the England Under-21 star Champions League football this coming campaign.

Will Gray leave Leicester? And which of Tottenham, Everton, Swansea and Bournemouth should the winger choose, given the opportunity?
