Just a little over a week into pre-season, it looks like new signing Archie Gray is already making waves at Hotspur Way.
In his first interview with Tottenham’s official channel following his £40m switch from Leeds, Gray came across as a confident young man, insisting that he will fight hard for a place in the side this season while suggesting that Premier League football could suit him better than the Championship.
It looks like the 18-year-old is now walking the walk, with Football.London’s Alasdair Gold revealing that Gray is already standing out in training.
The youngster is thought to have impressed in Tottenham’s behind-closed-doors friendly against Cambridge United on Saturday, with the Lilywhites running out 7-2 winners.
Gray is said to have played at right-back in the second half as Ange Postecoglou reportedly experimented with his backline due to the unavailability of Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Radu Dragusin.
Gold adds that Gray had also been catching the eye of the coaching staff in training in his first week at the club.
Spurs fans will be waiting with bated breath to watch the Leeds academy graduate in action.

The fact that Ange used Gray at right-back even though he had both Pedro Porro and Emerson Royal at his disposal perhaps sheds a light on the Australian’s plans for next season.
I fully expect the 18-year-old to serve as Porro’s understudy, at least during the start of the season. I do not think we will see him play in midfield much initially.
