Archie Gray is Tottenham’s newest signing.
The 18-year-old is now a Spurs player, and it’s fair to say there’s plenty of excitement around this deal.
Indeed, Gray joins from Leeds as perhaps the hottest young talent in the EFL, and the last time Spurs signed a youngster from the lower leagues with this much hype, he won two PFA Young Player of the Year awards.
So, is Gray worthy of the hype surrounding him? Well, according to Alasdair Gold, speaking on his YouTube channel, people within football believe that Gray is going to the very top.
Archie Gray tipped for the top
Gold shared what he’s been told about Gray from people within the game.
“Some people are questioning why you would spend so much on a young player, because he could be amazing. He could be absolutely fantastic,” Gold said.
“It says it all about how much faith there is in this transfer. Everyone I have spoken to in the game has said he’s a top, top talent, the one they think is going to be the next huge thing in English football.”
Gray looks like a star
He may have only played one season of senior football, but Archie Gray is already looking like a star.
The teenager is reminiscent for Jude Bellingham in a lot of ways due to his maturity and ability on the pitch and how he commands his teammates at such a young age.
At just 18, Gray was already one of Leeds’ most vocal leaders on the pitch, and he may well carry that through to Spurs even though he’s stepping up a level.
Gray looks like he could be an absolute superstar in the future, and figures within football clearly seem to think he’s headed to the very top.
