# Leicester City win race for Championship winger

![Gray](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Gray-500x329.jpg)The Leicester City fans in The Transfer Tavern are gathered around the jukebox discussing the club winning the race to sign a Championship winger.

[The Daily Mirror is reporting that Demari Gray](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/leicester-win-race-demarai-gray-7104148)has decided to make the move to the Premier League side and will join the club for a reported fee of £3.75 million.

Gray has been in fine form for the Championship side this season and has gained admirers from many clubs in the Premier League.

Leicester have beaten a host of Premier League rivals to the youngster’s signature and his signing is a real coup for the side currently sitting in 2nd place in the Premier League.

[Speaking just last week about Gray’s future at the club, manager Gary Rowett said](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/leicester-win-race-demarai-gray-7104148):

> “I see it as a win-win for everybody and I think that’s how we’ve all got to view it.”
>
> “Should this be the window that the right Premier League club comes up for Dimmy – and it’s something that’s attractive for him and the finances work for the Club – then within that, it would give us some money to go and build a little bit again.”

The Leicester fans in The Transfer Tavern are delighted with the news and look forward to him turning out for the side.
