Demarai Gray has held talks with Leicester over a possible transfer away from the club, according to Sky sources.

Sky Sports News understands there are a number of clubs interested in the England U21 international including Everton, Tottenham and Borussia Dortmund.

But as far as Leicester are concerned the 21-year-old attacker is under a long-term contract and not for sale.

Gray, who signed from Birmingham City in for £3.5m in January 2016, scored twice for England's U21s at the recent European Championships in Poland.

He impressed in bursts for the Foxes last season, making 41 appearances overall but only nine Premier League starts.

Manager Craig Shakespeare said earlier this summer: "I understand the frustration of young players expecting and wanting more time. But on the other hand they have to be respectful of their team-mates and who is in front of them.

"Hopefully he can get more game time. He's a player of huge potential who is rated very highly here among the coaching staff and his own players.
