Tottenham and Everton are "battling" over Leicester winger Demarai Gray, claims the Daily Star with the paper reporting that the 21-year-old could be on his way out of the King Power Stadium this month.
The Star says that Gray is also "tempted with a move" to a bigger club now that Leicester's bubble has burst and Spurs are said to be lining up a big money move.

Boss Mauricio Pochettino has yet to make a summer signing but having sold full-back Kyle Walker to Manchester City for £50m last month he has cash to burn. Gray would not be on the market for much more than £15m and Spurs are ready to pay that fee for a player who has great potential.
Everton and Borussia Dortmund are also said to be interested in the wide man but Tottenham are favourites to land the youngster.
Meanwhile, Talksport claims that Tottenham's chances of signing Spanish midfielder Suso are receding with sources in Italy reporting that the 23-year-old is currently in discussions with AC Milan over a new five-year deal.
His current contract expires in two years and although he's known to be on Pochettino's shopping list Talksport say that Suso would prefer to sign on for another stint in Milan. It seems that the player, who had a spell with Liverpool a few seasons ago, prefers life in Serie A to life in the Premier League.
And there is more gloomy news for Spurs fans in the Daily Express with their report that French winger Yann Karamoh is close to agreeing terms with Inter Milan.
Bizarrely dubbed the "next Kylian Mbappe" - despite the fact that he is a year older than the Monaco star - Karamoh, who currently plies his trade with Caen, has been courted by Tottenham and Arsenal but Italian newspaper Tuttosport say Inter are about to hand over £9m for the youngster.
