Archie Gray is already making a name for himself at his new club Tottenham with impressive performances in training
Gray had an exceptional debut season with the Leeds United first team last season. The teenager’s consistent performances and his versatility resulted in a significant amount of interest from across Europe but Tottenham managed to beat the competition to sign the English youth international. They forked out a massive £40 million to bring him to the club.
Spurs rate the youngster quite highly and people at the club believe he could end up playing an important role in the team under Ange Postecoglou. Having seen him do well for Leeds in the Championship as a full-back and in his preferred role in the centre of the park, there are a lot of expectations from the English sensation.
According to a report from Football London, Gray seems to living up to those expectations as he has managed to impress the club staff in the first week of their pre-season. The midfielder has been putting in some great work in training and he seems to have adapted well to life in North London.
Gray has already had his first minutes in the Tottenham shirt. Postecoglou’s men were involved in a behind-closed-doors friendly at their training ground against Cambridge United on Saturday afternoon. The manager gave every available member of his squad a run and Gray is believed to have played as a right-back in the second half in a game they won 7-2.
