BREAKING: Demarai Gray Signs For Al Shabab From #Everton?—According to reports, Al Shabab reach verbal agreement in principle with Everton to sign Demarai Gray.
This was made known by Football transfer guru, Fabrizio revealing that Al-Shabab is yet to open talks with Gray over personal terms and the player’s final decision is yet to be known.
The news comes after Zamalek have publicly announced they rejected Al-Shabab’s €5 million bid for Ahmed Sayed Zizo, which would have made him the most expensive sale in the club’s history.

Deal only agreed club to club at this stage — as Saudi sources confirm.
Al Shabab will now start talks also on personal terms — up to Demarai’s decision.

Gray, 27, has missed Everton’s opening two Premier League games this season due to injury and has been the subject of interest from Premier League sides.
Over the summer, Gray had impressed with Jamaica and led his country to the Gold Cup final, before losing to eventual winners Mexico.
A product of Birmingham academy, Demarai Gray has represented Leicester City and Bayer Leverkusen, before moving to Everton in 2021, and was part of the Foxes team that won the Premier League in 2016.
Al-Shabab had a very poor start to the season, collecting just one point from their opening two games as they sit 13th on the league table.
