Craig Shakespeare has told fed-up winger Demarai Gray he has a future with Leicester.
Spurs, Liverpool and Everton have all been linked with the England Under-21 starlet.
Gray, 21, was outstanding as the Young Lions reached the semis of the European Championships in Poland last month.

But he is yet to make a similar impact at club level and has made just ten Premier League starts since a £3.75million move from Birmingham in June last year.
Leicester boss Shakey told him he will be rewarded if he can recapture his England form for the Foxes.
Shakespeare said: “He has huge potential and is rated very highly here. Demarai is a young lad and I understand the frustration of young players expecting and wanting more game time.
“But they have to be respectful of their team-mates and who is in front of them.
“Hopefully, this season we’ll see him play more.”
Gray aired his grievances in public while on international duty.
He said: “I am hungry and want to make my mark. I don’t feel I have been able to do that as much as I want.”
And boss Shakespeare added: “I’ve had conversations with Demarai about being patient.
“I understand that sometimes that can just be words but he has a big future here.”
