Tottenham Hotspur Sign Leeds United Youngster Archie Gray for £30 Million

Tottenham Hotspur have completed the signing of 18-year-old Leeds United midfielder Archie Gray for a fee of £30 million. The versatile youngster has signed a contract with Spurs that will run until 2030 and will wear the number 14 shirt.

Gray had been expected to join Brentford for a reported £40 million, but the deal collapsed over payment structures, even after the player had undergone a medical. Tottenham, who had previously attempted to sign Gray as a schoolboy, then made their move.

As part of the deal, Spurs defender Joe Rodon has moved in the opposite direction to Leeds for a reported £10 million fee.

Last season, Gray made 21 starts in midfield and 30 at right-back for Leeds in all competitions, including the Championship Playoff Final defeat that saw Southampton promoted to the Premier League. The England youth international has represented his country at U15, U16, U17, U19, U20, and U21 levels.

Gray becomes the first signing of the summer for Tottenham, where he would likely be considered a rotation option at both right-back and central midfield. Spurs’ inverted full-back style would be suitable for a player with his skillset, and he would also help with the club’s homegrown player concerns.

The teenager is the son of former Scotland striker Andy Gray, who made 530 appearances across the Football League, including top flight campaigns with Leeds, Nottingham Forest, Bradford City, and Sheffield United. Archie Gray is the third generation of his family to have played for Leeds, with grandfather Frank and great uncle Eddie Gray having been mainstays in Don Revie’s all-conquering team of the 1970s.
