According to Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge, Tottenham Hotspur are now close to signing Leeds United’s 18-year-old midfielder Archie Gray, who completed the first part of his medical yesterday.
Previously, Archie Gray was very close to joining Brentford for a transfer fee of £40 million, the two sides reached personal terms and completed their medical on Saturday. However, after that, the two clubs failed to reach an agreement on the payment method of the transfer fee, leading to the deal ultimately falling through.
Now, Tottenham are expected to be Gray’s new home. They have reportedly been tracking the 18-year-old England midfielder for a long time, and are in the final stages of negotiations with Brentford, with the club confident of completing the transfer.
Last season, Gray made a total of 52 appearances for Leeds United in all competitions, and can play in multiple positions such as central midfield and right-back. Leeds United manager Farke was reluctant to lose his protégé, but in order to avoid violating the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR), Leeds United must ensure financial balance by selling players.
