The developments in Leeds United’s clash with Stoke City on Monday evening would have been of interest to Tottenham Hotspur, who are thought to be eyeing a move for a 16-year-old Harry Gray.
Some eyebrows were raised when Spurs paid £40m to sign Archie Gray from Leeds last summer, but that has proven to be money well spent, with the teenager hitting the ground running at N17.
The Lilywhites are thought to be considering raiding Elland Road for another young starlet this summer: Archie’s younger brother.
It was reported last month that Tottenham are plotting a move for Harry Gray after being impressed with the 16-year-old striker’s displays in youth football.
Huge Harry Gray development will interest Spurs
As Tottenham Hotspur continue to contemplate a potential offer for the forward, they would have taken notice of what happened on Monday.
Gray was handed his senior debut for Leeds by Daniel Farke, coming on as an 86th-minute substitute in the Yorkshire club’s 6-0 thrashing of Stoke City.
That result sealed Leeds’ promotion to the Premier League, and Farke’s decision to hand minutes to Gray might have been an effort by the German to show the teenager that he is very much front and centre of his plans.

The Championship table-toppers might be hoping that the young forward may lean towards staying at the club after being shown a first-team pathway.

It was revealed last month by TBR Football that Tottenham are facing competition from Arsenal and Newcastle for Harry Gray.
The report explained that Spurs have an advantage over the Magpies and the Gunners as they could use Archie’s help to persuade his younger brother to come to Hotspur Way.
However, the update suggested that Leeds are confident that the 16-year-old will remain at the club for the time being.
