Leeds United: Archie Gray wanted in France, Elland Road transfer news emerges.
According to The Telegraph, OGC Nice expressed interest in Leeds United star Archie Gray during the transfer window, but the move never materialised.
Instead, Gray signed a new contract with Leeds that will keep him at the club until June 2028. His previous agreement was set to expire in 2025. [BBC Sport].
Leeds United have secured Archie Gray’s future at Elland Road
The 17-year-old has evolved as a valuable asset under Daniel Farke, demonstrating his adaptability after being moved from his preferred midfield position to right-back due to combat injuries.
However, the injured players have returned, and Gray has maintained his defensive position, impressing during the current season.
He even scored his first senior goal for the club against Leicester City on Friday, February 23, helping them narrow the gap on the Championship leaders.
It is not every day that a young player of Gray‘s skill and prospect emerges, and Leeds must seize the opportunity, since plenty of interest is expected in the summer, especially if the team is unable to gain promotion to the Premier League.
Gray will most likely try to return to midfield, but with Ethan Ampadu, Glen Kamara, and Ilia Gruev already in the team, it may be some time before he leaves the right-back position on a regular basis.
