Leicester City have rejected a bid from Bournemouth for winger Demarai Gray.

The Mercury understands the Cherries have tabled an offer for the 21-year-old, which was immediately turned down.

The bid has been reported to be around the £20m mark, but Leicester have no desire to sell the England under-21 international.

The Mercury also understands there is no release clause in Gray’s contract, despite reports back in May that there was one of £22m.

Gray’s representatives held talks this week with City director of football Jon Rudkin earlier this week about his future.

The winger has grown frustrated with his lack of game-time, having made only nine starts in his 30 Premier League appearances last season.

That has led to speculation this summer about his future, having been linked with interest from the likes of Everton, Tottenham and even Borussia Dortmund .

City boss Craig Shakespeare says he has spoken to Gray about giving him more game-time this season, and insists the winger is happy at the club.

"They (Gray's representatives) came in to have a meeting with the director of football, I wasn’t privy to that," said Shakespeare.

"We’ve had conversations, myself and Dimi. It is well-documented. We have spoken about trying to give him more game-time and we are both happy with that."

Gray impressed off the bench in the pre-season defeat at Burton on Tuesday, but faces competition from Riyad Mahrez and Marc Albrighton for a place in the starting line-up.
