Southampton are making a move for Leicester City winger Demarai Gray.

The Sun says the Saints are set to make a move for Gray, who is now able to speak to foreign clubs about a pre-contract agreement.

Southampton are exploring the possibility of taking the winger to St Mary's, as Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl continues to build an impressive and dynamic squad.

Benfica, Marseille and Monaco are among a host of continental clubs hoping to hold talks with Gray this month.

It is believed Gray's preference is to move abroad, but he could be tempted by a deal to join Southampton, who have made rapid progression under Hasenhuttl's guidance.
