Archie Gray’s latest transfer: Tottenham interest, £35m fee, scheduled medical, Leeds exit

The summer transfer window is starting to pick up pace as clubs seal deals that will see players don new shirts at the start of the season.

For Tottenham, they are eyeing several players to add to their squad over the next few weeks. Ange Postecoglou’s side have already completed deals to re-sign Timo Werner on loan, as well as signing Lucas Bergvall.

One name that has been mentioned a lot with both Tottenham and other Premier League clubs is Leeds United’s Archie Gray. The discussion only intensified ahead of Sunday’s unofficial Profit and Sustainability (PSR) cut-off day.

A lot has happened regarding the youngster’s future in a few hours, with him looking likely to be on the move. With that in mind, here are the latest.

Tottenham interest

football.london previously reported Tottenham’s strong interest in Gray ahead of the summer transfer window. But they weren’t alone with several Premier League clubs as well as some overseas looking at him.

The 18-year-old is a midfielder by trade but was mainly used as a right-back by Leeds last season. He caught the eye with his performances in the Championship but could not help his boyhood club win promotion back to the Premier League as the Whites fell to a 1-0 defeat against Southampton in the play-off final.

Leeds’ position

Leeds’ failure to win promotion back to the Premier League means it will always be a difficult task for the club to keep hold of their star players, including Gray in the summer. Daniel Farke’s men are said to be demanding a fee of at least £30m for the player if they are to cash in.

Medically scheduled

In a deal that seemed to come out of the blue, Brentford quickly emerged as favorites to sign the teenager. It was first reported on Saturday that Leeds had received an inquiry from Bees for Gray.

Less than an hour later, Athletic reported that a fee had been agreed between the two clubs and Gray is scheduled for a medical ahead of a £35million move. Gray is also said to have already agreed personal terms over a move to the GTech Community Stadium.

It is added, however, that interest remains elsewhere and Leeds are not completely resigned to losing their player. If any club, such as Tottenham, are going to make a move, they will have to do it quickly.
