Andreas Christensen has reverted back to his old profile picture of him in a Leed shirt amid Tottenham registration issues.
Archie gray moved to the white hart lane from leed on a transfer this summer.
But he could leave his new club before even making a competitive appearance.
That’s because Archie could depart the club for free if he is not registered before the club’s premier league opener against Leicester next week Monday.
With the New England season just a few days away from commencing, the England defender has yet to be registered by Tottenham as the club continues to balance the books.
As a result, he’s may change his Instagram profile picture back to the one of him in a leed shirt, fueling rumours that he could make a sensational return to leed.
Tottenham Hotspur have completed the £30M signing of Leeds United youngster Archie Gray.
The 18-year-old had been expected to join Brentford after the BBC reported on Saturday that the Premier League side had agreed a £40M fee, but the move collapsed over payment structures.
That deal had been so advanced that Gray even underwent a medical. The Athletic’s David Ornstein reports that Tottenham, who had previously attempted to sign Gray as a schoolboy, then made their move.
The deal sees Joe Rodon move in the other direction for a reported £10M fee.
“We are delighted to announce the signing of Archie Gray from Leeds United.” The club wrote on their website
“The versatile midfielder has signed a contract that will run until 2030 and will wear the number 14 shirt.”

Gray started 21 games in midfield and 30 at right-back for Leeds in all competitions last season, including the Championship Playoff Final defeat that saw Southampton promoted to the Premier League.
The versatile youngster has also collected 24 youth international caps after representing England at U15, U16, U17, U19, U20, and U21 levels.
Gray becomes the first signing of the summer for Tottenham, where he would be likely considered a rotation option at both right-back and central midfield. Notably, Spurs’ inverted full-back style would be suitable for a player with his skillset.
As a homegrown player, Gray would also help with Ange Postecoglou’s side’s concerns in that area. Spurs have been widely reported as in search of additional homegrown players this summer.
Gray is the son of former Scotland striker Andy Gray, who collected 530 appearances across the Football League, including top flight campaigns with Leeds, Nottingham Forest, Bradford City, and Sheffield United.
He is the third generation of his family to have played for Leeds, with grandfather Frank and great uncle Eddie Gray having been mainstays in Don Revie’s all-conquering team of the 1970s.
