Demarai Gray signs new four-year deal with Leicester City

Leicester City midfielder Demarai Gray has signed a new four-year deal which will keep him at the King Power Stadium until 2021.

The 21-year-old had been keen to pen a new deal, and talks had been ongoing for several months between former manager Craig Shakespeare and Gray.

"I'm very happy. Now I just want to kick on and keep doing what I'm doing," Gray told LCFC TV.

"I want to be starting games and, for me to be doing that, I have to work hard in training. As a whole, we're a good group and we have a good dressing room.

"Now I want to get my head down and keep kicking on for the team. For me personally, it's now about developing as a player and the rest will take care of itself."

Gray was also called up to the England Under-21 squad today as Aidy Boothroyd's side prepare for a European Championships qualifier against Ukraine later this month.
