Blues looking at buying wide-man Demarai Gray

Chelsea are looking to make a shock bid for gifted Leicester wide-man Demarai Gray.

The Foxes snapped up the 19-year-old from Birmingham for ÂŁ3.7m in January.

He’d previously been linked with a Liverpool, Newcastle and Tottenham.

And Birmingham rejected a series of offers for him – including a ÂŁ5m swoop from Bournemouth.

But despite being used mainly as a subsitute for Leicester, the gifted wide man has impressed.

Leicester stormed to a historic Premier League title under former Chelsea boss Claudio Ranieri.

But the champions could struggle to keep hold of their prized assets.

N’Golo Kante, Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy have all been linked with big-money moves away from the club. For now though, it’s Gray who is the only player with a real move on the cards.

Gray has made just 12 appearances for Leicester since making his New Year switch.
