Shakespeare reveals Leicester rejected Spurs, Bournemouth offers for Gray

Ex-Leicester City boss Craig Shakespeare has revealed the club rejected offers from Premier League rivals for Demarai Gray.

The Foxes received bids from Tottenham and Bournemouth in the summer of 2017 while Shakespeare was in charge of the club.

"(We were) fighting off bids from Tottenham and Bournemouth," Shakespeare told Sky Sports.

"We knew that we needed to keep him because he has very much got the potential to have a really good career."
