Demarai Gray has returned to the
Premier League with a bang since signing for Everton in the summer. After years of stagnating at Leicester he is ready to prove the undoubted potential he showed at Birmingham.
The next opponents trying to stop Gray are his hometown rivals Aston Villa, who will be wary of a man with three goals in four Premier League games. Childhood nemesis or otherwise, Gray does not require extra motivation to carry on his fine form after a stunning start since his bargain £1.7m move from Bayer Leverkusen.
