Gray was man of the match in the 2-0 win over Everton on Sunday and has continued to grow and impress since joining from Birmingham in 2016.

The England Under-21 winger went on to help the team life the Premier League title against odds of 5,000-1 in 2016.

He added: "As a whole, we're a good group and we have a good dressing room.

"Now I want to get my head down and keep kicking on for the team.

"For me personally, it's now about developing as a player and the rest will take care of itself."

Gray made his Foxes debut away to Spurs in the FA Cup in January 2016, where he got an assist.

It is thought his new deal will be worth around £50,000 a week and has finally been reached after months of negotiations between his people and the Leicester board.
