Reported Leeds United target Demarai Gray will not be involved in Leicester City’s squad this weekend, with the Daily Mirror suggesting that the winger is keen to leave the King Power Stadium.

Gray is yet to feature in the Premier League this term. He has however, started in the Carabao Cup.

The Daily Mail reported earlier this week that Marcelo Bielsa is interested in the winger. And while it remains to be seen if Leeds do confirm their interest with any sort of bid, it does appear that Gray leaving the Foxes is growing increasingly likely.

The Daily Mirror reports Gray is in the final year of his £50,000-a-week contract and is keen to move on.

It is suggested by the Mirror that a number of foreign clubs want Gray, while Tottenham Hotspur are long-time admirers. The report also notes that Leicester are yet to set an asking price.

TBR View: Leeds should try their luck for Gray

Leeds are still looking to sign a winger with the deadline looming. Gray may perhaps be an ambitious target with the wide-man earning a significant wage.

And with numerous clubs reportedly interested, Leicester may perhaps be able to ensure that he does not leave on the cheap.

Nevertheless, Leeds should still try their luck. He would arguably be an incredibly exciting signing if Bielsa could get the best out of him.
