A video has resurfaced showing Tottenham’s expected new recruit Archie Gray starring against Chelsea as Leeds fans bemoaned the talent being set to leave the club.
Spurs are finalising an agreement with Leeds that will see 18-year-old Gray join Ange Postecoglou’s side in a deal which will be worth around £30million plus defender Joe Rodon going the other way in a separate move worth £10m.
Tottenham opened talks for Gray on Sunday after Leeds rejected a £35m offer from Brentford because of the payment structure.
The youngster was set to have his medical at the Bees on Saturday evening but is now in-line to join Tottenham after talks were accelerated with the Premier League club.
