In the midst of significant transfer rumors involving Chelsea, Tottenham, and Brentford, Archie Gray has already declared his future with Leeds United.
After Leeds was relegated from the Premier League, Gray had his breakout season in the Championship. The team’s attempt to immediately return to the top flight was unsuccessful as they lost to Southampton in the play-off final.
Gray was left in tears by the Wembley reverse and the 18-year-old is now the subject of transfer interest from Tottenham, Chelsea and Brentford, the latter of whom have seen a bid rejected by Leeds believed to be amounting to £40m.
Chelsea and Tottenham remain interested in the England youth international who has already declared just what it would mean representing his hometown club in the top tier of English football.
“It would mean a lot to me because that is the goal that everyone has got here,” Gray told Sky Sports of the prospect of representing Leeds in the top flight. “Especially being from Leeds, that’s where the club deserves to be and should be. I want to try and win trophies with Leeds, that’s always what I’ve dreamed of as a kid. Playing for England’s first team is another one that every kid from England dreams of.”
Gray’s 15-year-old brother Harry has also made giant strides of late within the Whites Academy. Asked about his younger brother’s development, Archie said: “He’s a good player. I don’t want to say too much about him, he will get a bit big headed. But if he keeps training hard though then I am sure he can do what I am doing.
“I’d love to play with him one day. It would be like Eddie and Frank playing with each other again.”
