Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in acquiring the services of Arsenal target Harry Gray.
According to a report from Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Tottenham Hotspur want to sign Leeds United sensation Harry Gray, the younger brother of their midfield star Archie Gray. The North London club are constantly on the lookout for young players with massive potential, and the teenager seems to fit the bill.
While Archie is a holding midfielder who can even feature as a full-back, his younger brother is a striker who has been doing wonders for Leeds at the youth level. He has yet to make his first-team debut but has been a part of Daniel Farke’s team for some time.
Not only has he been a consistent performer for their youth team, but the 16-year-old is also a part of the England Under 17s. Harry Gray has made quite a name for himself, and multiple top clubs from across Europe want to prise him away.
While Leeds United will try everything in their power to keep him at the club, they cannot afford him a new long-term deal as he won’t be turning 17 until October. Despite that, they are optimistic about having him around.
Tottenham want to raid Leeds United
Clubs like Tottenham and Arsenal are pushing hard to sign the 16-year-old. Spurs have made a significant change to their transfer policy in recent years. Tottenham have focused on signing young stars with massive potential as they look to build a team in the long run.
While the North Londoners have already signed some world-class youngsters, they will continue in a similar fashion in the summer. Postecoglou’s team have been scouting Harry Gray, and they feel he could be a great addition to their squad. As a result, Tottenham are looking to reunite him with his brother Archie.
Arsenal could rival Tottenham in Harry Gray chase
The Gunners are willing to rival Spurs for his signature. Mikel Arteta’s team have also been closely following him, and they are quite impressed with his performances. Arsenal are keen on making a move for him ahead of next season.
While Arsenal are keen, Tottenham have a massive advantage as Harry wants to play for the same team as his brother, and Archie can convince him that Spurs is the ideal destination for his growth as a player.
