‘Fly now’ Leeds United players’ telling dressing room response to Archie Gray’s Tottenham move
Confirmation of Archie Gray’s move to Tottenham Hotspur led to an outpouring of love and also frustration among Leeds United supporters as one of the best young talents produced by the club in decades said goodbye after just one season in the first team.
A failure to win automatic promotion back to the Premier League ultimately cost Leeds financially as they sold Gray to help settle the books for Profit and Sustainability reasons, but also as to not stand in the way of the 18-year-old playing at the highest level possible. It’s a bitter pill for many supporters to swallow right now, and no doubt there will be disappointment at the Leeds training ground once all the players have returned, with Gray a popular figure and a player of genuine quality, which the squad know they’ve lost.
