Leicester boss Puel happy to continue Gray as striker

Leicester City boss Claude Puel is happy to continue Demarai Gray in a striker's role.

Gray started up front against Tottenham and it's not an experiment Puel is finished with.

He said, “It was a good opportunity to see Dimi. I was pleased with his performance and if for example, Jamie scored when he came on it's perhaps because Dimi tired out the defence.

“(Gray) has fantastic starts, he can make the difference with good penetration and now he needs to learn to have calm, to have the right touch, to finish. He does not have the end product at the moment but he has all the qualities for the future.

“He needs to have the clinical edge because a striker or winger needs to score."
