Tottenham Hotspur have been busy on the transfer front this summer, with a number of top talents arriving at N17.

Spurs signed Archie Gray early on in the window, before adding Yang Min-hyuk, Dominic Solanke and Wilson Odobert to their ranks.

In addition, Timo Werner has re-signed for Tottenham on loan, while Lucas Bergvall has arrived after a deal was struck in January.

Now, Spurs cult hero Michael Dawson has waxed lyrical about one of the Lilywhites’ young new recruits ahead of the start of their campaign.

Michael Dawson hails Tottenham talent Archie Gray

Dawson, speaking to the Daily Mail, said he feels Gray will be getting minutes from the off at Tottenham.

“I’ve also seen a lot of Archie Gray,” he said. “He was absolutely magnificent in the Championship last year in his first full season. But this is another step up.

“I think he can play numerous positions, and he will play minutes. He’s a kid who wants to learn. He takes on board and his work ethic. He just loves football.”

Gray set to play

Although Gray is just 18 years old, he has done more than enough to prove he’s ready for the highest level.

He clocked up over 50 competitive appearances for Leeds and was one of their brightest players in their run to the Championship playoff final.

With Spurs set to compete in the Europa League this season, Gray is likely to get a decent amount of game time – maybe even some starts – early on.

It has been reported that Postecoglou plans to use Gray as cover at right-back initially, but his long-term future is said to be in midfield.

Tottenham have struck gold in terms of signing top talents in recent years, with the likes of Pape Matar Sarr and Destiny Udogie becoming stars.

Hopefully the likes of Gray, Bergvall and Odobert will also progress in the same manner while at N17.
