CharlieCharles Posted 16 December 2015 Posted 16 December 2015 Premier League high-flyers Leicester City are weighing up a January bid for Birmingham City hotshot Demarai Gray. The 18-year-old has been in excellent form for the Blues since breaking into the first-team in 2013.According to The Mirror, the Foxes are expected to move in for new recruits in the New Year as they seek to maintain their great start to the league season..It is added that Claudio Ranieri's side may consider a move for the young winger who has a meagre release clause of just £3.5m.Gray is thought to be assessing his future following a run of three league defeats for the Blues, who are a point off the play-off places in the Championship.

Stevosevic Posted 16 December 2015 Posted 16 December 2015 Didn't realise he was that young! Impressive number of appearances for an 18 year old.
AKCJ Posted 16 December 2015 Posted 16 December 2015 Literally can't lose with that signing. £3.5m is a joke to be honest.
Fox92 Posted 16 December 2015 Posted 16 December 2015 He isn't. He's 19 He is looking like a very good prospect. Really rate him.
ScouseFox Posted 16 December 2015 Posted 16 December 2015 oh no am i gonna have to get my party with demarai gray song back out to convince him to join
kingcarr21 Posted 16 December 2015 Posted 16 December 2015 The sort of signing that at that price even if it doesn't work out is no major loss. He hasn't been as impressive this season but put him in our set up and he may flourish. Sign him up
Will1981 Posted 16 December 2015 Posted 16 December 2015 sign him up and loan him back for rest of season
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 16 December 2015 Posted 16 December 2015 What bids did we have turned down in the summer?
Devonfox1884 Posted 16 December 2015 Posted 16 December 2015 With Schlupp out for a couple of months we only have Riyad, Albrighton and Dyer as wingers (maybe Lawrence when he comes back) so this signing would fill the void left, and at £3.5M really isn't that big a risk.
iamafox Posted 16 December 2015 Posted 16 December 2015 Sign him up sharpish, don't want to lose out on a bargain.
Webbo Posted 16 December 2015 Posted 16 December 2015 Realistically were never going to be a more attractive proposition than we are now. Be good to sign him up and loan him back for the rest of the season. A possible replacement for Mahrez should he leave at the end of the season.
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 16 December 2015 Posted 16 December 2015 Surely if we're still top in January, most young players we're linked to will be begging their agents to get them signed up
filbertstreet Posted 16 December 2015 Posted 16 December 2015 What bids did we have turned down in the summer? Charles "I Hate Leicester" Aranguiz
Tom's Pasta Posted 16 December 2015 Posted 16 December 2015 Always linked with this guy, hope we can finally get him
matty98 Posted 16 December 2015 Posted 16 December 2015 Seems a bit overrated based purely on stats 1 goal and 1 assist in 21 games is pretty poor. Rather see us go for Jordan Graham
MPH Posted 16 December 2015 Posted 16 December 2015 Realistically were never going to be a more attractive proposition than we are now. Be good to sign him up and loan him back for the rest of the season. A possible replacement for Mahrez should he leave at the end of the season. As much as I rate him as a prospect, the idea of replacing Mahrez with gray doesn't fill me with confidence
Webbo Posted 16 December 2015 Posted 16 December 2015 As much as I rate him as a prospect, the idea of replacing Mahrez with gray doesn't fill me with confidence Whether we like it or not, we're going to have to replace Mahrez one day.
ScouseFox Posted 16 December 2015 Posted 16 December 2015 so we put r hands up were singing our song cos we love leicester cityyyy clapping clappers like yeah clapping clappers like yeahhhhhh we got our flags up we singing our songs we know we're gonna be okkkk with amartey an demarai gray BACK ON
21st Century Fox Posted 16 December 2015 Posted 16 December 2015 I thought Liverpool had first dibs on him. http://metro.co.uk/2015/12/09/liverpool-agree-first-option-deal-for-demarai-gray-transfer-report-5553894/
Guest MattP Posted 16 December 2015 Posted 16 December 2015 Whether we like it or not, we're going to have to replace Mahrez one day. True, but I hope we'll be in a position where we can aim for a bit better than Demarai Gray when he does. For 3.5million it might br worth a punt, but from what I've seen of him he looks pretty average and vastly overrated.
johnny the fox Posted 16 December 2015 Posted 16 December 2015 I thought Liverpool had first dibs on him. http://metro.co.uk/2015/12/09/liverpool-agree-first-option-deal-for-demarai-gray-transfer-report-5553894/ The clue is "according to reports"...says it all....
Leicesterpool Posted 16 December 2015 Posted 16 December 2015 This lad is going places so I'd bring him in January plus I think I read in the press he's got a contract clause of £3million or summit. Which doesn't sound a bad price looking at this lad.
MPH Posted 16 December 2015 Posted 16 December 2015 Whether we like it or not, we're going to have to replace Mahrez one day. Oh I'm prepared for that at the end of the season. But not by an 18 year old with no top flight experience... It took Mahrez 2 years to get to where he is... Not t sure we can afford two years right now... If we had someone in to be an adequate replacement for Mahrez now then there's every chance gray will come good in two years time
