Leicester City have announced the signing of highly rated
Birmingham City winger Demarai Gray on a four-and-a-half year
contract.
The England Under-20 international will head to the King Power
Stadium for an undisclosed fee pending approval from the
Premier League.
Speaking to Leicester's official website after securing his
move, 19-year-old Gray said: "It's been my dream to play in the
Premier League since I started playing football so I'm very
happy to join the club.
"It's a great club. The facilities are great and for a player like me
it's an ideal place for me to improve. Meeting all the staff here,
it seems like a nice family place, so I think that's perfect for
me.
"You can see how well the team has been doing this year and I
watch a lot of football so I can see that the way Leicester City
play suits my style.
"I only hear good things about Leicester and I'm looking forward
to starting."
The Birmingham youth academy product was named the club's
best young player of last season and had been ever-present in
the Championship this term prior to missing the weekend win
over Brentford.
Gray will join Leicester's first-team training session on
Thursday and could make his debut in the FA Cup clash with
Tottenham on Sunday.
