Demarai Gray

Gray still plays with the same directness that made him stand out as a teenager, using pace and close control to get beyond a full back rather than waiting for an opening. That approach took him through Leicester's title winning squad, a stint in Germany and spells in the Premier League and Saudi Arabia before he returned to where his career began. Switching allegiance to Jamaica gave his career fresh purpose, and he arrived at a Gold Cup a difference maker.

The question over any homecoming is whether the player coming back resembles the one who left, or whether nostalgia does more work than form. Gray is no longer the raw teenager Birmingham once sold, he arrives with the experience of several leagues and a reputation to protect rather than build. Whether his legs still let him beat a man as often as before is what supporters will watch closest.
