Despite attracting attention from top Premier League clubs, 17-year-old Archie Gray is poised to stay at Elland Road, according to Leeds icon Brian Deane.
Gray, a vital component of Leeds’ setup under Daniel Farke, has already made 39 appearances this season and is set to reach 50 if the club enters the playoffs. Despite signing a contract extension until 2028, rumors of Premier League interest persist, with Leeds bracing for potential bids.
While Gray has expressed his contentment at Leeds and his desire to fulfill his dream of playing for the club, Deane believes the young talent’s future lies at Elland Road. Drawing parallels with Kalvin Phillips’ career trajectory, Deane emphasizes the importance of stability and proper development for Gray, citing the supportive environment of the Gray family as a crucial factor in his decision-making.
At just 17, Gray is under no pressure to depart from Leeds, with Deane advocating for patience and continued growth at the club. Even if promotion eludes Leeds, Deane believes Gray is in the right place to thrive, urging him to focus on his development before considering a move to a bigger club in the future.
