Archie Gray has made a mark at Tottenham Hotspur since joining on a £40 million arrival this summer from Leeds. In doing so, the 18-year-old defenseman was named by the London Football Awards as the Young Player of the Year on Thursday.
A Leeds academy product, Gray made his senior debut in the 2023 season for the club and made an instant impact as he played all 52 games for Leeds as the club reached the Championship playoff final before losing to Southampton.
Garnering interest from Premier League clubs such as Brentford, Gray was about to join the Bees before being swayed to join Tottenham and the project under Ange Postecoglou.
Playing all over the backline this season for an injury-riddled defense, Gray has quickly become a player that the fans admire and the manager praises as he learns on the spot.
