According to Sky, Demarai Gray has held talks with Leicester about his future and is potentially looking at moving on.
My advice to you Demarai is to cut out this arrogant, surly attitude and maybe ask yourself honestly why you are not yet a regular starter.
Yes you have talent, and yes you have potential. However to date with the opportunities you have had, you have not been as good as I suspect you think you are.
Consistency and good in match decision making are huge factors, and it's here where you've been lacking. The goals against Man Utd and Derby were spectacular, but going for glory every time and not choosing the simple option to play in a team mate is what you need to work on.
If you get your head down and really work on these aspects of your game, whilst cutting out the sulky, perceived entitlement attitude, you will I'm sure find yourself getting more game time.
However, if you really believe that you don't need to do anything and it's just not fair and Leicester are holding you back, then perhaps it's best you go and try elsewhere. Good luck with that!

Maybe he would Top Gee. Poch is a top coach.
I just think Demarai needs to realise that the reason he is not getting regular game time actually has something to do with him and the flaws in his game.
He is young and these flaws can be overcome, but he has to be prepared to accept that he still needs to work hard on his game, to improve his consistency and in match decision making. If he does that I'm sure he's got a great future ahead of him. My problem with him is that he seems very quick to moan and complain and to blame anyone but himself.

Poch couldn't afford him. Spurs have a new stadium to pay for. You'll have to get used to selling players rather than buying them.

If he can't get many minutes at Leicester, he surely isn't going to get many at Spurs

My issue with Gray is not his attitude, it's the fact he isn't good enough.
He's a big talent with bags of potential, but so far he's shown to have a very small football brain. You can't coach that.
Stop trying to shoot every time you have the ball. Stop trying to dribble past 4 players and rarely beating the first. Start understanding your defensive role in the team, start getting your head up and finishing a team mate.
When you've done that, feel free to moan that you're not in the team ahead of Albrighton. But take one look at Albrighton and ask yourself - why is a man with less ability than me getting in the team. Why is that man respected by fans and players alike?
I hope Gray stays and when he gets his chance, he takes it. But he needs to realise right now, he's not as good as he thinks he is. I would prefer not to sell him, but our current success is built around a team and team spirit. If he is a risk to that in any way, sell.

I'm afraid these reports about Gray are really starting to annoy me.
In 2015/16 we won the league (that's won the league!) with Mahrez and Albrighton playing as our wide players. What exactly was Gray expecting in his first full season with us as a young professional? To displace the player of the year and the reliable MA.
Probably the best he had a right to hope for would be that he was the next cab off the rank if the first choice players' form dropped. That's exactly what happened, but when given a shot he didn't exactly make the place his own. A few useful cameos, but didn't convince when he started games. Admittedly, consistently isn't necessarily expected from young players, but patience and hard work is.
He's got the skill, but now he needs the application to go with it. "Give your gob a rest, get your head down, work hard and make the shirt your own son!" Earn your respect.
