Reported Tottenham Hotspur target Demarai Gray signed a new four-year deal with Leicester City on Thursday, which looks to have ended any hopes Spurs had of bringing the winger to north London in the near future.

The Mirror reported just prior to transfer deadline day in August that Mauricio Pochettino was keen on a deal for the 21-year-old, but it failed to materialise despite the fact that the England Under-21 international had grown frustrated with his lack of Premier League starts.

However, he started Claude Puel's first match in charge against Everton on Sunday and has chosen to commit his future to the Midlands outfit, with Tottenham seemingly having to look elsewhere if they want to strengthen in wide areas.

With Erik Lamela still yet to make his return following a lengthy spell on the sidelines and with Georges-Kevin Nkoudou struggling to make an impression, Pochettino still looks to be a little short of quality on the flanks.

While they look to have lost out on the Foxes winger, there are plenty of other options that could take their fancy either in the New Year or next summer.

Here are three Gray alternatives Spurs should target….

Quincy Promes

With 11 goals and a further six assists in 19 appearances in all competitions for Spartak Moscow – and 54 in 109 outings in total, the Dutch winger has certainly shown that he can make a big impact from out wide.

The fact that he can play on either flank makes him an especially attractive option, while he also has experience in European football including two goals in three Champions League appearances this term.

The 25-year-old is in his fourth season with the Russian outfit, but it appears to be only a matter of time before he moves on to bigger and better things, and Tottenham should certainly be keeping a close eye on his performances.

Riyad Mahrez

Ironically, Gray's new deal at Leicester could suggest that Mahrez is edging closer to the exit door at the King Power Stadium – especially as he played on the Algerian's preferred right flank against Everton on Sunday – even though new manager Claude Puel will be keen for him to stay.

The Daily Mail reported just days after the summer transfer window closed that the 26-year-old is determined to secure a move away from the Foxes in the New Year, and Tottenham are likely to be keeping tabs on his situation following the huge impact he had when Leicester pipped Spurs to the Premier League title in 2016.

There is little doubt that he would provide the likes of Son Heung-Min and Lamela with some much-needed competition depending on the formation Pochettino is using.

Richarlison

Not too much was known of the 20-year-old when Watford signed him from Brazilian club Fluminense for around £11m during the summer transfer window, but the bigger clubs in the Premier League will already be taking a look at the impressive winger.

The Brazil U20 international has three goals and a further three assists in his 10 top flight appearances in his debut season in England, and he has quickly become one of the Hornets' most important players because of his trickery and ability to win fouls.

While he was a little wasteful with his finishing in the 4-2 defeat against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last month, he certainly looks to have the potential to make an impact at a club like Tottenham already.
