Newcastle United v Leicester City - Premier League
Mahrez's departure will thrust Gray into the limelight

Gray has been with Leicester City for the past three seasons, but has not been able to realise his vast potential. A big factor for this has been Riyad Mahrez, the Algerian has been the main man for The Foxes. However, Mahrez was snapped up by Manchester City recently, and the baton is there for the taking.

Last season Gray made 35 appearances in the league, but more than half of them were from the bench. Despite this - his pace, dribbling ability and skills were plain to see for all. Gray is a tremendously gifted player, and his ability to glide past people due to his lithe frame is beautiful to watch.

Coach Claude Puel praised Gray recently, this suggests that he will become an integral part of the side next season.

Leicester looked to Mahrez and Jamie Vardy for attacking inspiration, and the departure of the former will increase the weight on Gray's shoulders significantly. But he will be up to the task, and it will be an intriguing watch at the King Power Stadium next season.
