Hungry Gray eager to keep developing at Leicester

Demarai Gray may have bagged himself a Premier League winners medal at the age of 19 but the Leicester City winger is hungry for plenty more in his career.

Gray could not have timed his move to the Foxes better as he switched Birmingham City for Leicester City in January of this year.

That came amid Claudio Ranieri’s team’s remarkable challenge for the Premier League title which eventually came to a climax in May when they lifted the trophy.

Domestic success has been harder to come by this time around though with Leicester’s league form in stark contrast to their impressive Champions League adventures where they have made the knockout stages.

And while Gray has had to make do largely with a role off the bench this season, the now 20-year-old insists he’s more than happy to keep learning from his teammates.

“I’m hungry. I just want to play football and be the best I can be. I want to play at the best level, which I am doing, and win more stuff,” he said.

“Being involved in the Champions League where the best teams in the world are [is great]. I just want to win more stuff after having the taste of it so early in my career.

“It’s just made me want to do it again. There are a lot of big characters here in the team who are helping me. Players like Danny Drinkwater, Riyad Mahrez who plays in my position and Wes Morgan the captain too.

“Just being around such quality players and training them is making me get better. When I need to be told what’s good or not so good, they tell me so I’m lucky to have players like that around me.

“To see how far they’ve all come in their careers is great and hopefully I can go on and become like them.”
