Leeds wonderkid Archie Gray closing in on £35million Premier League transfer with imminent medical booked

LEEDS wonderkid Archie Gray is set to join Brentford following a £35million deal.

Gray, 18, enjoyed a stunning breakthrough season in the EFL last term as he amassed one goal and two assists in 52 appearances across all competitions.

That led to interest from several major clubs, including some from the Premier League.

Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea kept tabs on the versatile teenager, who started last term as a central midfielder before manager Daniel Farke decided to operate him at right-back.

However, it’s Brentford who have won the race for the England Under-21 international.

Gray is set to undergo a medical with the Bees, who agreed a fee with Leeds.

The teenage sensation, who was also eyed by clubs in Spain and Germany, has agreed terms with Thomas Frank’s side.

Recent reports suggested Leeds would have to sell after missing out on promotion to the Premier League last term.

Farke’s side chased after an automatic return to the Prem but were beaten to it by Leicester and Ipswich.

The Yorkshire giants then came agonisingly close to an immediate return to the top flight once they reached the play-off final.

However, the Whites were bested by Southampton at Wembley and thus another season in the Championship awaits.

Gray is the great nephew of Leeds legend Eddie Gray and is firmly following in his footsteps.

Gray joined the Elland Road academy in 2014 at the age of eight and made his senior debut in August 2023.
