Demarai Gray admits leaving Leicester was 'tough' because he was never offered a new contract and didn't feel 'wanted or valued' before leaving for Bayer Leverkusen in January

Demarai Gray revealed he was never offered 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 for a fee of around £3million at the BayArena 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 German side after not feeling valued at the King Power Stadium and only playing 18 minutes of Premier League action this season.
