Tottenham keen on signing Leeds United academy starlet Harry Gray
Tottenham Hotspur have spent their money prudently since Ange Postecoglou walked into the club, with several young guns arriving at the club over the last three transfer windows.
Earlier in the summer transfer window, the North Londoners put their big focus on outgoings with 15 players leaving the Hotspur Way—either left on loan, permanently or released. Simultaneously, they continued rebuilding the squad by acquiring the signatures of some highly-rated young talents from England and Europe. And one of those youngsters to arrive at N17 was Archie Gray.
Archie Gray, one of the hottest prospects in English football, joined Tottenham from Leeds United in the region of £30m. Spurs beat competition from Brentford to sign Gray, who is tipped for a bright future in the game.
The early signs have been promising with the England youth international impressing Ange Postecoglou since arriving at the club in July. And Spurs are now looking to continue expanding their exciting pool of young talents by making more additions.

According to an exclusive report from TBR Football, Tottenham have expressed a keen interest in signing Leeds United youngster Harry Gray—the younger brother of Archie. The Lilywhites are eager to maintain a cordial relationship with Championship side Leeds United to facilitate Gray ‘junior’s transfer.
Harry Gray has courted interest from some of England’s elite clubs after featuring in pre-season for Daniel Farke’s side. The 15-year-old striker, who has represented England at the Under-16 level, has grabbed the eyeballs from multiple Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Newcastle United.
The highly-rated English talent does not turn 16 until October but is already making waves in the Under-18 Premier League, where he has scored eight goals across his 1
1 appearances. The aforementioned reportadds Spurs have already ‘informed’ Leeds they would like to sign Harry after bringing his elder brother Archie through the door earlier this summer.
Adding Gray to the ranks would strengthen Spurs’ ambitions of forming a strong core of young, dynamic talents with high ceiling. With the North London outfit’s focus on developing the next generation of players, bringing in the Leeds academy starlet would align with the long-term vision and strategy of Ange Postecoglou and the club.

During his time at Elland Road, Archie admitted he would like to play alongside Harry one day, and Spurs must make that dream come true. However, it won’t be easy to poach Harry from Leeds as clubs such as Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Newcastle are all waiting on the wings to pounce.
