Arne Slot dealt Liverpool transfer setback as Tottenham land double whammy on Prem rivals
Tottenham are set to make a significant summer signing.
Tottenham appear to have dealt a summer transfer blow to both Liverpool and Brentford after agreeing a fee for Leeds youngster Archie Gray. The highly rated 18-year-old is expected to sign a long-term deal with the north London club, having excelled in the Championship last season and playing 52 matches in all competitions.
The fee is reportedly in the region of £40million, with the England Under-21 player having proven to be adept in both central midfield and at right back.
Gray, great-nephew of Leeds legend Eddie, had been heavily linked with a move to Brentford, with Daniel Levy seemingly scuppering his club’s Premier League rivals at the 11th hour.
The 18-year-old even begun the process of a medical with the Bees, but they seemingly could not come to an agreement with Leeds over the structure of their bid. And the development is now set to have a knock-on effect for new Liverpool boss Arne Slot.
The Merseyside side club have been expected to move for another Leeds star in Crysencio Summerville, who top scored for the club with 21 goals last season. And he was duly named the Championship Player of the Season at the 2024 EFL Awards.
