Spurs swoop! Tottenham hijack Gray from under Brentford’s noses
Tottenham Hotspur are set to sign highly-rated Leeds United right-back Archie Gray as the North Londoners close in on a last-minute hijack from under the noses of Premier League rivals Brentford.
The Lilywhites have changed their transfer policy off-late as they target young players with high potential that can make headlines in the years to come. Ange Postecoglou can take his time with these players and mound them as per his playing style. This is where the Leeds teenager comes in.
Levy masterstroke?
Archie Gray has been one of the gems coming out of the championship in the recently concluded season. He has taken everyone aback by his quality and potential, which garnered interest from multiple Premier League sides for his signatures, and while a late swoop by Spurs will ensure he will wear a Spurs badge going into his development years post-season.
Tottenham have secured the signatures of the Duram-born right back in a £40 million bid as we get a ‘Here we go’ from transfer guru Fabrizio Romano confirming the deal is imminent and all but finalized. All parties have reached an agreement in principle as Spurs have secured one of the most exciting prospects in English football.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, the Italian wrote:
“Archie Gray to Tottenham, here we go! Agreement in principle between all parties involved, waiting to sign documents. Spurs are set to pay a fee around £40m for a long-term deal for Gray, who’s accepted to join #THFC.”
Tottenham defender Joe Rodon is also set to get a move to Elland Road this summer, as revealed by Fabrizio in the same tweet.
