Liverpool-linked midfielder Archie Gray’s potential transfer to the Premier League has collapsed despite personal terms being agreed and a medical being arranged.
The 18-year-old Gray enjoyed a standout season with Leeds United during the 2023-24 campaign, making 52 appearances as the Whites reached the Championship play-off final, ultimately losing to Southampton. With Leeds failing to secure promotion, Gray has attracted attention from several Premier League clubs.
In November, the Daily Mail reported that Liverpool were preparing a £40 million bid for Gray. However, Brentford appeared to be leading the race for his signature, having agreed on personal terms and scheduled a medical. Despite these efforts, the transfer fell through due to disagreements over the payment structure between Brentford and Leeds.
Now, Tottenham Hotspur have emerged as the new favorites to sign the young England international. Spurs have registered their interest, and Leeds are reportedly under pressure to sell players to comply with financial fair play regulations.
As Leeds seek to balance their books, Tottenham look set to capitalize on the situation, positioning themselves to secure Gray’s services and potentially outmaneuvering Liverpool in the process.
