Tottenham Leads Race for Leeds Star Archie Gray After Brentford Deal Falls Through
Brentford's £40m bid for the 18-year-old midfielder collapsed, opening the door for Tottenham to make their move.
- Gray had agreed personal terms with Brentford but returned to Leeds after the clubs couldn't agree on payment structure.
- Tottenham has expressed strong interest in signing the young talent, with Chelsea also reportedly in the mix.
- Leeds needs to sell players like Gray to comply with financial fair play regulations after missing out on Premier League promotion.
- Gray, who has been with Leeds since age eight, has represented England at all junior levels and won the Young Championship Player of the Season award.
- Newcastle sold midfielder Elliot Anderson to Nottingham Forest to avoid potential points deduction, showing a trend of clubs balancing financial regulations.
