£5.5 is the fee I've heard plus the 25% sell on.

I await the Mayor chip salting or pissing (delete as appropriate)

For what it's worth I can very much take or leave this one

Signing Dimmi and Kyogo would be amazing

Buzzing with this to be honest as long as fee is right. A fully fit Dimi out wide in the Champ will be a cheat code.

Surprising as he is 29 in a week. He may have been flexible with personal terms to push the deal through.

I assume it’s a free transfer in effect with a sell on if we subsequently make money on him?

Fingers crossed. All those who are turning their noses up at this are living on another planet.
Gray is exactly what we need and what we lacked last season. Genuine pace and running power, great ball carrier and a real threat in a one on one.
He has genuine Premier League quality and experience, He’s also in his prime age wise. He would be a fantastic addition and every single club in the Championship would rip your arm off for him.
That link says a sum of money, god knows how much that would be though

My concern is he doesn't seem to fit the Daviesball model of a player that can contribute effectively to an intense high press and tracking back when a mistake is made to forcibly ensure we retrieve the ball.

We've seen Demarai Gray before, and both what we've seen of him and his career since us, says that isn't his game at all.

Completely agree. Up the Dimi!

CD also spent 2 years with him at Leicester. He knows what he’s getting.

Hadn't considered that, decent point.
I’ve no idea if he’d work out good for us but, as you say he’s premier league quality why is he not playing in the Premier?

Because he loves the blues and wants to come home.
