Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly expecting loan offers for Leeds United academy graduate Archie Gray in January.

Leeds parted with their most coveted asset in the summer, selling the homegrown prodigy to Tottenham for a fee reported to be in the region of £40m.

While he is still considered among the country’s most exciting prospects, Gray has not yet made a single Premier League start.

He has started for Spurs in the Europa League and Carabao Cup, but has been limited to 33 minutes of league action.

According to GiveMeSport, clubs in the Premier League and Championship are contemplating testing the waters with a loan bid in January.

He would arguably be a shrewd addition for every single club in the second tier, while a number of Premier League clubs would most likely consider him a coup.

A central midfielder by trade, Gray has spent most of his senior career playing at right-back. He has also been deployed as a centre-back by Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou, with his versatility among his many desirable traits.

Earlier this month, Spanish side Sevilla were reported to be interested in Gray. The La Liga outfit have their recruitment overseen by Victor Orta, who was the director of football at Leeds as Gray ascended the club’s youth ranks.

While Spurs are believed to be expecting offers, Gray is thought to be highly rated and there is reportedly no suggestion the club would be open to sanctioning an exit.
