Real Madrid emerge as shock contenders to sign Leicester ace
Published:
Real Madrid could launch a sensational bid to sign Leicester City winger Demarai Gray.
Gray’s speed and skill in wide areas have caught the eye since Claude Puel took over at the King Power Stadium.
Everton head the market to sign the 21-year-old at 9/4. But it’s the European champions’ interest that will really cause waves.
Real are second-favourites at 5/2 to seal Gray’s signature.
Gareth Bale’s injury problems mean they could be in the market for reinforcements in wide areas.
Liverpool (3/1) and league-leaders Manchester City (5/1) could also make a move for the talented youngster.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “Leicester will do well to keep hold of Gray with a whole host of clubs thought to be watching the youngster, and the latest odds are suggesting the English youngster could soon swap Leicester for La Liga.”
