Tottenham agree fee for Leeds teenager Gray

Midfielder Archie Gray, who is valued at between £30 million and £40 million, is being pursued by Tottenham, while defender Joe Rodon is heading in the opposite direction. The 18-year-old, who recently signed a long-term contract in North London, is anticipated to undergo a medical examination at Spurs’ training facility. Tottenham is predicted to sign Gray under the nose of London rivals Brentford, who conducted a physical on the young player at their training facility. However, Leeds rejected Tottenham’s approach of a comparable amount on Sunday due to concerns about the payment schedule and add-ons.

Leeds lost to Southampton in the Championship Play-Off final, which prevented them from winning promotion and forced them to sell players. It is thought that this sale will enough to bring Leeds up to speed with profit and sustainability regulations. The Scotland-qualified player for England Under-21 apparently drew interest from Chelsea and Liverpool as well. He played 52 games in all competitions for Leeds last season, mostly in midfield but also on occasion at right-back. He was almost always there, and in January, he signed a new long-term contract. The 26-year-old Rodon, a Wales international, will sign a separate contract with Leeds worth an estimated £10 million.

Meanwhile, Leeds defender Charlie Cresswell is set for a move to Toulouse for £3.8m and due to have medical after flying to France yesterday, while Marc Roca has also been sold to Real Betis for a reported £4m.
