Bayer Leverkusen have signed winger Demarai Gray from Leicester City for an undisclosed fee.

The Bundesliga club were looking to nab Gray on a free transfer in the summer.

However, Leicester have compromised on a fee for the winger, and ensured the transfer is completed before the closing of the January transfer window.

Gray played 133 games for Leicester in the Premier League, netting ten goals.

Speaking about the move, Gray said it was a "great opportunity to gain new experience abroad at a very attractive club".

"I can, and I would like to, develop here and be successful with this attractive team," said Gray.

Bayer Leverkusen's sporting director Simon Rolfes added: "Thanks to his experience in the Premier League, Demarai is a player who can help us straightaway.

"He is a tricky, very fast and penetrating winger who will give our attacking game an additional boost."
