Gray had a standout 2023-24 season, showcasing his versatility by excelling both at right-back and in midfield.
Tottenham is reportedly considering Gray, 18, to replace Emerson Royal, who is likely departing this summer.
According to Alasdair Gold of Football.London, Gray, a product of Leeds’ academy, fits well into Ange Postecoglou’s system due to his ability to play the inverted full-back role. Gold also mentioned on Monday that Gray may opt to stay at Elland Road next season to maintain regular playing time.
The Athletic has confirmed Tottenham’s long-standing interest in Gray, revealing that the club had been monitoring him even before he signed his professional contract with Leeds in March last year. Spurs allegedly made an attempt to lure Gray to Hotspur Way previously, but he chose to remain loyal to his childhood club.
The publication noted that Tottenham extensively tracked Gray throughout the last season, hinting at a continued interest.
Given Leeds’ financial situation, it’s expected that Tottenham may test the waters with an offer for Gray this summer. However, any potential transfer could hinge on whether Postecoglou’s side can convince Gray and his representatives to make the move.
