Demarai Gray admits leaving Leicester was 'tough' because he didn't feel 'wanted or valued' before leaving for Bayer Leverkusen in January

Demarai Gray revealed he never discussed a new contract at Leicester and didn't feel 'wanted or valued' by the club before leaving for Bayer Leverkusen in January.

The 24-year-old signed an 18-month contract at the BayArena for a fee of around £3million after struggling to force his way into the team under Foxes manager Brendan Rodgers.

Gray's contract was due to expire in the summer so, with no new deal on the table, opted to move to the German side after only playing 18 minutes of Premier League action this season.
