Second Leicester star may leave for free if club doesn’t act fast
It has now been widely reported that a second Leicester City star with an expiring contract may leave for free if the King Power club doesn’t act fast.
Wrapping up a new deal for centre-back and defensive leader Jonny Evans would please Leicester City’s loyal Blue Army of supporters no end. Evans is a masterful defender most often, can help Wesley Fofana develop – and is still a justified starter for the Foxes under manager Brendan Rodgers.

Their legendary but equally lauded and maligned manager Jose Mourinho is said to be keen on Gray. Meanwhile, Rodgers recently explained that an offer is on the table for his current player. Though, as nothing is yet signed, it’s clear Gray is considering a switch or wants more financially. Selling the Birmingham-born man in January, if possible, is the best option for the east Midlands side.
