Leeds United fans are all saying the same thing about Archie Gray after his first game with Tottenham

It was around this time last year that Gray actually cemented his position as one of Leeds’ first-choice midfielders in a game against the same opposition, and it would be fair to say he hasn’t looked back since.

Leeds were able to bring in around £40m for the sale of Gray to Spurs and while it’s clearly good money for the club, watching him develop will be a difficult sight.

If he continues to develop at the rate he can, it won’t be long before his value breaks the £100m mark and it’s a shame he won’t be at Elland Road.

Leeds fans react to Gray’s first game for Spurs

There was an uproar on social media when news of Leeds’ decision to sell Gray first broke, although time and the addition of Joe Rodon have helped ease the pain somewhat.

However, after reading what many of Tottenham’s supporters had to say about him after the first 45 minutes of his departure, the pain of following him elsewhere returned.

One supporter actually described 49ers Enterprises as “absolute quacks” for their decision to sell him, mocking the fact that some said it was a good deal.

Another said: “Ah Archie Gray Leeds should have built a team around him. That once-in-a-blue-moon generational talent that will be worth double, if not triple, by 20 years… yes that one.”

One then added that he just can’t get his head around Gray in a non-Leeds shirt, claiming it “makes him sick”.

Gray is already impressing behind the scenes at Spurs

It is perhaps no surprise that Gray shone in his first game for his new club, based on what is being reported about him behind the scenes.

Gray is said to have really impressed Spurs in his first two weeks at the club, seemingly taking to the elite environment like a duck to water.

Spurs have plenty of players playing in his position at the club, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if he establishes himself as first choice by the end of the season.

As much as Spurs fans might not want to admit it right now, it might just end up proving to be a stepping stone to an even bigger move down the road.
