Report: Following scouting trips, Arsenal and Tottenham are now interested in signing Elland Road star.
After hearing rumors of a potential Liverpool bid after an incredible start to the season, Arsenal and Tottenham have been scouting Leeds United striker Archie Gray.
That is according to 90Min, who claim Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea have all sent scouts to watch the 17-year-old in action for Leeds this season. He has started 13 of our 16 Championship matches this term.
The midfield player, who has recently been playing on the right side of defense, is reportedly being watched by Liverpool, Manchester City, and Newcastle, according to the report. It follows a piece on Gray that was published in The Mail.
They said that Everton and Palace were among Gray’s admirers, and that Liverpool was getting ready to make an offer come summertime. The article added that Leeds have placed a £50 million price tag on the player.
Gray’s Leeds contract expires in2025, and until then, there will be uncertainty around his future because the club is unable to extend it to him until he reaches 18. Dortmund, according to 90Min, has also expressed interest.
Gray, a star from Leeds, has been observed by Arsenal and Tottenham.
However, it’s also said that Leeds is being obstinate in their attempts to keep Gray at Elland Road for an extended period of time. Gray’s father, according to Aidy White, is eager to see his son get better.
However, Gray is attracting more attention than ever, which is hardly surprising given that at just 17 years old, the talent in the Championship is displaying form more befitting of an experienced professional. A true wonderchild.
Leeds will hopefully be able to hang onto Gray for a few more years before eventually making a profit from the potential England hero. In order to stay on par with Gray’s goals, we will need to achieve promotion.
