Demarai Gray has signed a new four-year contract with Leicester City.

The England under-21 international has committed his future to the club until 2021.

Gray, who started Claude Puel’s first game in charge and scored in the 2-0 win over Everton, has been in talks with the club for several weeks.

He said today: "I’m very happy. Now I just want to kick on and keep doing what I’m doing. 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.”

After the win over the Toffees, he stated he was happy to sign a new deal and had been waiting to see who would be City’s next manager.

“We obviously wanted to see who the new manager was and stuff, a bit of stability, but I’m happy playing football here and let my representatives deal with that side of it and when they give me the phone call we’ll get it sorted,” he said on Sunday.

Gray and Ben Chilwell have been included in the England under-21 squad for the European Championship qualifier against Ukraine.

The pair are again in Aidy Boothroyd’s squad for Friday’s clash, in Kiev, as England bid to reach the finals in Italy and San Marino.

Chilwell has been capped eight times at under-21 level, having captained the under-20s, while Gray is looking to add to his tally of 14 caps and five goals.
