More on this story... Gray Keen To Kick On At Leicester City Gray Delighted To Pen New Deal Five Young Foxes To Make Their Mark - Winger Demarai Gray signs new four-year contract with Leicester City- The 21-year-old joined City from Birmingham in January 2016- Gray has made more than 60 Leicester City appearances and was part of the 2015/16 Premier League-winning squad- He was named man-of-the-match during Sunday’s 2-0 win over Everton at King Power Stadium Having made almost 150 senior appearances, the 21-year-old is regarded as one of the most exciting talents in English football and has developed into a key member of the Leicester City squad since his arrival. The England Under-21 international joined the Foxes in January 2016 from Birmingham City and went on to help the team lift the 2015/16 Premier League title just five months later. Expand photo Gray was a key man for the Foxes during the 2-0 victory over Everton. Demarai has continued to showcase his undoubted ability and potential - underlined by a man-of-the-match display in the 2-0 win over Everton on Sunday evening. The winger’s brilliant run played a key part in Jamie Vardy’s opener before adding a second himself shortly after to help seal the victory. Speaking to LCFC TV, he said: “I’m very happy. Now I just want to kick on and keep doing what I’m doing. I want to be starting games and, for me to be doing that, I have to work hard in training. “As a whole, we’re a good group and we have a good dressing room. Now I want to get my head down and keep kicking on for the team. FIRST TEAM Video duration 29 mins ago Video duration 05:37 Gray Delighted To Pen New Deal Demarai Gray spoke to LCFC TV after putting pen-to-paper on a new deal that keeps the winger here until 2021. “For me personally, it’s now about developing as a player and the rest will take care of itself.” Gray began his career with local side Birmingham City and would go on to make almost 80 senior appearances – including 50 Championship starts – before Leicester City swooped to secure his services in January 2016. He made his debut for the Foxes away to Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup in January 2016, during which he assisted Marcin Wasilewski for a goal in a 2-2 draw at White Hart Lane. I’m very happy. Now I just want to kick on and keep doing what I’m doing. Demarai Gray Demarai’s impact grew the following season. He scored his first Leicester City goal against Manchester United at Old Trafford – a stunning long-range effort – while he also made five appearances for the team in the UEFA Champions League en route to the quarter-finals. At international level, he remains a key part of the England Under-21s set up, having been part of the squad – along with City team-mate Ben Chilwell – that reached the European Championship Semi-Finals in the summer, with Gray scoring against Poland and Germany along the way. This season, Gray continues to improve, having been involved in all but one of City’s Premier League games – including arguably his best display for the Foxes so far against Everton on Sunday evening.
daddylonglegs Posted 2 November 2017 Posted 2 November 2017 Well done. Now stop tweeting like a 14 year old girl and lets get some more performances like Sunday please.
Vince Vega Posted 2 November 2017 Posted 2 November 2017 It's time for the real Demaria Gray to stand up. Let's hope Sunday was just the start.
kingfox Posted 2 November 2017 Posted 2 November 2017 Finally found a manager that he actually likes.
Vardinio'sCat Posted 2 November 2017 Posted 2 November 2017 Claude's aggressive approach with youth paying dividends already? I would love to see Grey playing with a smile on his face, because he has the quality to terrorize the PL if he can find consistency, hopefully he can really kick on now.

Stevosevic Posted 2 November 2017 Posted 2 November 2017 Claude is going to develop all our younguns. I can feel it.
ajthefox Posted 2 November 2017 Posted 2 November 2017 Good news. Hopefully gets more game time but in any case, you would hope a big bump in pay means he will be slightly less frustrated.
Wolfox Posted 2 November 2017 Posted 2 November 2017 Great…. No coincidence with Puel arriving - he feels as if he’ll be integral to the team now and not a bit part player Go and destroy Stoke now!
ZeGuy Posted 2 November 2017 Posted 2 November 2017 That's the advantage of having a real manager who believes in his Youngsters.
StanSP Posted 2 November 2017 Posted 2 November 2017 excellent news. Think under Puel we'll see the best of him.
Lovejoy Posted 2 November 2017 Posted 2 November 2017 DG is going to be quality in the not too distant future. I trust Puel to keep him in the team and let him develop, guess he does too.
MPH Posted 2 November 2017 Posted 2 November 2017 If Puel's only legacy here is to develop the likes of chillwell and Grey, then i will be delighted!* * Just as long as we don't get relegated!!!
