Gray closing in on Leicester exit, says Rodgers

The 24-year-old has made 168 appearances for Leicester in all competitions since arriving from Birmingham City in 2016, but has not been a part of Rodgers’ plans this season, his sole appearance coming in September’s 2-0 League Cup defeat by Arsenal.

“It’s pretty clear with Demarai that he’s looking to move on,” Rodgers said ahead of Sunday’s match at home against 16th-placed Brighton & Hove Albion.

“His attitude to training has been first class, he has been very professional, but he is at the stage of his career where he has been here a long time and hasn’t maybe nailed down a place. A fresh start may be the course for him. Until his last day here, I will always respect him, there will always be an opportunity for him, and I will never discard him but it’s looking more than likely he will probably be somewhere else next season”.
