Leicester star Demarai Gray set to end speculation over his future by penning new contract at King Power Stadium

Winger Demarai Gray is ready to sign a new Leicester contract to end lingering speculation over his future.

The 21-year-old has been in contract talks and former boss Craig Shakespeare said he was close to a deal almost two months ago.

But discussions have dragged on, not helped after Shakespeare was sacked earlier this month and replaced by Claude Puel last week, and Leicester rejected bids from Bournemouth and Crystal Palace in the summer.
