Leeds fans 'heartbroken' at Archie Gray joining Tottenham as they rage at 49ers

Leeds United fans are furious after the club confirmed homegrown sensation Archie Gray has been sold to Tottenham Hotspur after they triggered his release clause.

Football Insider exclusively revealed early on Sunday that Spurs had hijacked Brentford’s transfer for the 18-year-old after he underwent a medical at the west London outfit on Saturday.

Spurs have also agree to pay £40million including add-ons for Gray, while Joe Rodon has gone the other way for £10million.

Leeds fans witnessed Gray progress through the academy after he joined the first team setup at the age of 15, and became a regular under Daniel Farke.

The 18-year-old played a vital role in Leeds’ attempts to gain promotion to the Premier League last season after starting 47 of his 52 performances,

Leeds United fans aren’t pleased about his sale

Leeds United claimed they were heartbroken to see one of their own leave, but fans were less sympathetic towards the club they support.

You can’t be heartbroken when it’s your own decision. 49ers have shown their colours early on. They do not get it, at all.— Emma Oakley-Taylor (@emmaoakleytaylr) July 2, 2024

Can’t buy into a club that sells its home grown talent all the time … it’ll be my last season.— ST (@Yorkshire77) July 2, 2024

Literally sent him out the door but you’re heartbroken. Scraggy little mugs you lot.— Relegation Clause FC (@MMMMMNoodleSoup) July 2, 2024

Heartbroken ????????
You had him on a long term contract nobody could force you to sell— καναρίνια (@les_canaris) July 2, 2024

Football Insider previously revealed Leeds had to recoup £150million in player sales to avoid a points deduction, which is a situation many fans aren’t pleased about.

Gutted to see Archie Gray leave. Football is in a genuine sad place where a boyhood fan who's been at the club since he was a kid has to be sold to balance the books. Just not what the game is about ???? pic.twitter.com/EI1UIZMI5K— LUFCMOT (@LUFCMOTcom) July 2, 2024

Liars. You lot know the price of everything, but the value of nothing.— Adam (@Ken_DeMange) July 2, 2024

Money talks, don’t put a release clause into your own contract unless you’re looking to eventually part ways.— Ryan ???? (@easy_teasy) July 2, 2024

Heartbroken.
Financial Mismanagement by the club over the last few years meant there was no option.

Getting peanuts for all the rubbish we bought under Orta.— Chris ???????????? (@Chris_CD2010) July 2, 2024

Heartbroken but laughing all the way to the bank I bet…— Lufc1982 (@Lufc19821) July 2, 2024
