Leeds United are preparing to press ahead with their move to sign Leicester City winger, Demarai Gray, following the collapsing of the deal to bring Michael Cuisance to the club.

According to The Telegraph, the Whites are now focusing their attentions on bringing Gray to Elland Road, with Marcelo Bielsa seemingly desperate to add to his attacking options before Monday’s deadline.

Gray has fallen down the pecking order under Brendan Rodgers and the Foxes boss has admitted the 24-year-old could indeed move on.

And it seems like Leeds could be the obvious place for Gray to wind up at, with the Telegraph claiming a deal could be on the cards to bring the former Birmingham man to the club.

Gray has made over 130 appearances in the Premier League. He was part of the Leicester team that won the Premier League a few years back but has now been pushed away by the likes of Ayoze Perez, James Maddison, and Harvey Barnes.

Leeds missing out on cuisance was a blow but bringing in a player who knows the Premier League well is a plus, if they do indeed land Gray.

Despite being just 24, Gray has a wealth of experience and coming from a winning team like Leicester, should up the ante at Elland Road that little bit more in terms of quality.

Capable of playing wide both on the left and right, Gray will give Bielsa a good option and put pressure on the likes of Helder Costa and Jack Harrison.
