Liverpool linked with move for Demarai Gray

Liverpool could swoop for Leicester winger Demarai Gray in the summer as the Englishman considers his future, according to the Daily Mail.

The promising 20-year old featured regularly in the Foxes’ title-winning campaign but has found first-team opportunities hard to come by this term.

Gray has started only ten league games since joining from Birmingham and is understood to be frustrated at his lack of game time.

He has, nonetheless, shown flashes of the talent which has also caught the eye of Everton and Spurs, notching a total of three goals and six assists.

Gray has three years left on his current contract and reportedly has a release clause of £22 million, which could deter the interested parties.

The club have repeatedly denied that such a clause exists, but sources suggest the under-21 international could be prized away from the King Power Stadium if a fee in that region was offered.

Injuries have exposed a lack of depth in Liverpool’s squad this season, and Gray, who can play on the left or right side, could provide cover for Philippe Coutinho or Sadio Mane.

Jurgen Klopp’s men have also been linked with Athletic Bilbao’s Inaki Williams and Spartak Moscow’s Quincy Promes as options for the flanks.
