Football rumours from the media
Kevin De Bruyne could double his wages with contract talks set to begin with Manchester City.
What the papers say
Leicester have fought off interest from both Bournemouth and Tottenham to hold on to England Under-21 winger Demarai Gray, according to the Daily Mirror. Gray, currently on a £25,000-a-week contract, appears to have been swayed to stay at the Foxes by a bumper long-term contract. After making a minimal number of starts last season, the Foxes now seem keen to make the 21-year-old a bigger fixture in the team. With more talks expected, Gray could sign the deal this week.
