With a number of new young players in their ranks, it is easy to get excited about the future at Tottenham Hotspur. And, according to Harry Redknapp, one of the talented teenagers could be a top player for Spurs.
The Spurs midfield looks very different this season. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Oliver Skipp are gone, and Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall, both 18-years-old, are in.
It seems Ange Postecoglou is going to give the pair plenty of opportunity to show what they can do this season, too, and they’ve both already made their debut in the league with minutes against Leicester in the opening game of the season.
While Bergvall may be a bit more of an unknown at this stage, fans will have had the chance to see what Gray can do if they were watching the Championship last season.
Harry Redknapp certainly likes what he’s seen of the former Leeds midfielder, and he has been praising Gray during a recent appearance on talkSPORT (20/8/2024, 8:13 am).
He said: “Good to see him get a chance. I don’t know much about him, but certainly Archie Gray, I watched him quite a bit last year. He is a proper player, isn’t he? He has got a bit of pedigree as well. I think he will be a big success at Tottenham.
“I bet he is a great lad. You only have got to look at him, he will be professional, he will be brought up right, he looks the real deal to me. I think he is going to be a top player for Spurs.”
It seems everyone at the club is very impressed by Gray. Club ambassador, Ledley King, described him as a ‘mature young player’ who will be ready to make the step up to the Premier League (Football.London).
According to Charlie Eccleshare on The Last Word on Spurs, coaches around the club have been gushing about Gray and revealed how excited everyone is about what he can achieve at Tottenham.

I’ve been really impressed by Gray from what I’ve seen of him in a Spurs shirt already. He hasn’t looked out of place at all in pre-season and in the league when he came on, and I think this first season in the Premier League will do wonders for his development.
