Gray has only just stepped into Hotspur Way, but the 18-year-old has already made a lasting impression on people within the club
Tottenham Hotspur announced the signing of Archie Gray from Leeds United on the 2nd of July, making it the club’s first permanent deal of the window.
Plenty of people have high hopes for the 18-year-old who was awarded the Championship Young Player of the Season in his debut campaign. (Tottenham Hotspur)
Gray signed a deal that runs all the way until 2030, displaying the clubs both high hopes for his future and current ability, only proved further by the £40m reported investment Tottenham sunk into the Gray transfer. (Sky Sports)
Players have just started to trickle back into the training ground ahead of the 2024/25 season which has allowed Archie Gray to get accustomed to his new surroundings, and according to reports has already made an impression behind the scenes.
Ange Postecoglou has previously conveyed his beliefs of having a dressing room of good characters over just high levels of ability, and new reports suggest that Gray is aligned with that philosophy. (TNT Sports)
Alasdair Gold, speaking on Gold and Guest Talk Tottenham, explained how people at Spurs have been extremely impressed with Archie Gray’s personality, describing him as grounded and polite.
Gold said: “Yeah I was impressed by the interview. I thought he’s very confident in speaking and I spoke to a couple of people around the club after his couple of days he’d been in for and the feeling was very much that he’s a grounded, polite young guy, exactly as you’d hope for. No sense of an attitude or anything.”
The reports suggest that regardless of Gray’s outstanding ability, it hasn’t transpired into a cockiness in the youngster’s personality with people stating that the midfielder doesn’t have any sense of an attitude and seems to have the perfect personality to help realise his potential.
Spurs Web Opinion
Hearing the near-perfect impressions that Gray has left with people at Spurs is welcome news, especially for a new signing that is still so young as the player’s attitude and character will likely determine what heights Gray will reach.
Gray might need to display a bit of arrogance on the pitch however, akin to Bellingham and Dele Alli, especially with the way Gray plays it’s likely the teenager will get kicked a lot and should be prepared to respond in the right way.
