Spurs are pushing to sign Archie Gray from Leeds
A host of reliable journalists reported yesterday that Tottenham are pushing to sign Archie Gray from Leeds United, although talks were said to be in the early stages (David Ornstein, Fabrizio Romano and Alasdair Gold).
Ange Postecoglou was even rumoured to be planning talks with the Leeds player himself, as he looks to reinforce his midfield and full-back options ahead of the new season (Mirror).
Football Insider claimed that Gray was set to have a medical with Spurs as early as today after his proposed move to Brentford fell apart this week.
It was widely reported that Brentford had agreed personal terms and organised a medical with the young midfielder (The Athletic), only to have Leeds reject the payment structure of their £35m bid (The Athletic).

Archie Gray starts his Tottenham medical
Sky Sports now report that Gray underwent the first part of his Tottenham medical last night and ‘every expectation’ is that he will soon sign for the North London club.
Lyall Thomas and Michael Bridge reported: ‘Tottenham are close to completing a deal to sign Archie Gray from Leeds. Sky Sports News understands he has already completed part of a medical.
‘The final negotiations are ongoing and every expectation he will sign for Spurs.’
Spurs Web Opinion:
I really hope Spurs can get this one over the line. It isn’t a cheap deal, but will likely be covered by the sales of Emerson Royal and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. After all, Gray can play both of those positions.
It’s exciting to see Ange building such a young and hungry team, you can’t help but compare it to the feeling around Spurs during those first couple of years under Pochettino. Let’s hope we can get this deal done!
