10 dark horses for England's 2018 World Cup squad 

#8 Demarai Gray (Leicester City)

Demarai Gray

There has been a fair amount of chopping and changing at Leicester City in 2017 but one constant around the King Power Stadium has the desire to start Demarai Gray more.

Gray, who cost the Foxes £3.7 million in January 2016, arrived in Leicester with a lot of excitement as his stock was quite high following some impressive showings at Championship club, Birmingham City.

Sunday's 2-0 win over Everton, in which Gray ran proceedings, was only his 12th start since he joined, and fans were questioning why early on when he started to cause Everton problems.

It did not take him long to turn chances into goals as, in the 18th minute, he surged past first Tom Davies and then Idrissa Gueye and seemed to have the freedom of Leicestershire to then pick up Riyad Mahrez who squared for Jamie Vardy for 1-0.

Not long later, he scored, albeit fortuitously, as Jonjoe Kenny sliced a cross from Gray into the back of the net, but regardless, the tricky winger was the standout Man of the Match.

If he starts more often and keeps putting in performances like that, a full England call-up may not be too far away.

If not, he can always carry on his summer success as he and the rest of the Under-21 squad made the semi-finals of the Euros. Gray scored two goals in Poland, including one in that semi-final against Germany.
