Leicester starlet Demarai Gray admits Craig Shakespeare's King Power exit has helped his chances of game time

Demarai Gray has lifted the lid about his frustrations with life under Craig Shakespeare at Leicester, claiming his development has been ‘held back’.

The England Under 21 winger last week signed a new long-term contract to stay at the King Power Stadium and has been revitalised by the arrival of new manager Claude Puel.

If he maintains his current level, he will follow Joe Gomez, Tammy Abraham and Ruben Loftus-Cheek into the senior squad.

Gray has started the two Premier League games under Puel, playing 170 minutes, which is a stark contrast to when Shakespeare was in charge.
