Leicester City 'reject £20m Bournemouth bid for Demarai Gray'

Leicester 'reject Bournemouth bid for Gray'

Leicester City have reportedly turned down a £20m offer from Bournemouth for winger Demarai Gray.

Gray is understood to be open to the idea of leaving the King Power Stadium this summer in search of more regular football, having started just nine Premier League matches last season.

Manager Craig Shakespeare hinted that the 21-year-old would be given more game time during the upcoming campaign, though, and Sky Sports News now reports that the Foxes have rejected an approach from Bournemouth.

The Cherries are one of a number of clubs thought to be monitoring the youngster's situation, including the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Everton.

Gray scored twice to help England to the Under-21 European Championship semi-finals earlier this summer, but netted just twice in 41 appearances for Leicester across all competitions last term - the majority of which came off the bench.
