Mourinho is understood to have held discussions with Gray directly.

And after featuring in just 21 Premier League games last season, with most of those appearances coming off the bench, Gray is apparently keen on making the switch.

The former Birmingham youngster has entered the final year of his King Power contract.

And Brendan Rodgers could now sell Gray to avoid losing him for free next summer.

The midfielder has been at Leicester for four-and-a-half years after a £3.7million move from St Andrew’s in January 2016.

Gray has made 167 appearances in total, scoring 13 goals and adding 17 assists.

Spurs have already made moves in the transfer window, with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg arriving from Southampton for just £15million.

Goalkeeper Joe Hart was also snapped up on a free transfer after leaving Burnley.

But it’s reckoned Tottenham are ready to let right-back Serge Aurier leave for either AC Milan or Bayer Leverkusen.

Meanwhile, youngster Ryan Sessegnon will get a chance to shine at left-back after a poor debut season despite interest from Barcelona and Celtic.
