‘Brilliant’ – Archie Gray reveals how his first day of Spurs training went
Archie Gray may have only signed for Tottenham a matter of days ago, but the former Leeds United starlet is already in training under Ange Postecoglou.
Tottenham signed Archie Gray for £40m
Spurs signed Archie Gray from Leeds United on July 2nd, shelling out a whopping £40m for the 18-year-old who only has one year of experience in the Championship (Sky Sports).
That being said, the youngster impressed the Leeds coaching staff and ended up featuring regularly both in midfield and at right-back. Spurs also got a nice £10m discount by sending Joe Rodon the other way.
Well, it turns out that Gray only had to wait four days before he was treated to his first taste of Tottenham training at Hotspur Way, with a number of non-international players returning this week.
Archie Gray is training at Hotspur Way
Spurs have their first pre-season friendly of the summer against Hearts on July 17th, just days after the European Championship final, and Gray will surely be involved in the squad.
When asked about his first day of training, Archie Gray told Tottenham’s media team: “Ever since I signed, I couldn’t wait to get started and I can’t wait to train even more.
“The first session today was brilliant and I really enjoyed it, so I can’t wait to train again.”
Alasdair Gold has already reported that sources at the club have found Archie to be polite, grounded and confident during his first two days in North London (Gold and Guest Talk Tottenham).
Spurs fans will be excited to see what the teenager can do on the pitch as he joins the likes of James Maddison, Yves Bissouma, Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Matar Sarr, Oliver Skipp and Lucas Bergvall in the midfield ranks for next season.
Spurs Web Opinion:
Pre-season is always such an exciting time full of hope and hype. I can’t wait to see Gray in a Lilywhite shirt over the course of the next month.
I have a feeling he could surprise a few people and work his way into the regular starting XI next season.
