'Could be a hijack': Journalist shares the latest he's now heard on Archie Gray transfer state of play

Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Liverpool are just three of the Premier League clubs that have recently been linked with Archie Gray.

The Lilywhites, the Gunners and the Reds are all likely to be busy in the summer transfer window in a bid to strengthen their respective squads.

Tottenham finished fifth in the Premier League table last season, but were in the top-four picture for most of the season.

Meanwhile, Arsenal took the title race to the final day, and Liverpool were also in the picture for much of the campaign.

There is optimism at all three clubs ahead of next season, and there’s certainly scope to make numerous signings to improve their chances of success.

All three have been linked with Gray, an 18-year-old midfielder who is arguably the biggest English talent since Declan Rice.

The Daily Mail recently reported that Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea were all set to battle for Gray this summer.

Meanwhile, GiveMeSport claimed that Liverpool were also tracking the Elland Road wonderkid.

Tottenham one to watch in Archie Gray transfer saga

Earlier today, David Ornstein broke the news involving Brentford and Leeds agreeing a deal for Gray, who is set for a medical.

However, Ben Jacobs has now reported that there’s still the possibility of a hijack – with Tottenham said to be one to watch – as it’s “not totally done yet” with the Bees.

The transfer insider also noted how Liverpool, Chelsea, Aston Villa and West Ham have also been linked with Gray in the past.

Jacobs mentioned a £40million package having been agreed between Brentford and Leeds, whose PSR concerns will be allayed by selling Gray.

Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool not yet out of the race for Gray

Although it looked as though it was nailed on between Leeds and Brentford for Gray, this report from Jacobs suggests the race is still open.

Gray is an absolutely outstanding talent who would impress in a Premier League team at just 18 years of age.

Therefore, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the likes of Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool continue the fight rather than just give up.

This is certainly a case of watch this space as there could yet be some more twists and turns.
