Tottenham plans to replace the senior star with a £50 million youngster after Ange is called up.
Tottenham are considering replacing a senior player with a £50m teenager this summer, with manager Ange Postecoglou personally deciding that the Spurs player is now surplus to requirements north of London.
Spurs prepare for busy summer as Postecoglou undertakes overhaul More activity is expected at N17 this summer, with Spurs ready to make offers for more than a dozen players as Postecoglou sought to reform the team in his image and continue a major rebuild.
The north London side are looking to strengthen their defence, midfield and attack in the coming weeks, with Postecoglou eyeing both centre-back and full-back signings.
Tottenham need a quality replacement who can replace Destiny Udogie or Pedro Porro, as both defenders play vital roles for the Lilywhites in the 2023/2024 season and stand out as some of the star players their.
Emerson Royal could also be sold by Spurs, according to some reports, with Kyle Walker-Peters and Festy Ebosele linked with replacements for the Brazilian in recent months.
Now another name being touted as a possible successor for Emerson is Leeds United star Archie Gray.
Tottenham plot to replace Emerson Royal with Archie Gray According to Football Insider, Tottenham are considering replacing Emerson with Gray after the 18-year-old’s extraordinary championship season The teenage full-back is rumored to be increasing his price up to £50m last season thanks to his excellent form, making 47 appearances in the Second Division and registering two more assists under Daniel Farke – leaving the Whites narrowly missing out chance of promotion to Southampton in the play-off final.
“Archie has had a great season for Leeds,” pundit Carlton Palmer said during the latest World Football League campaign.
Gray has been excellent, making 36 appearances so far this season, proving both his versatility and ability.
The 18-year-old’s current contract keeps him at the club until 2028, but the club are looking to extend his contract further.
This is meant to tie the player to the speculation surrounding him from top Premier League clubs and European teams.
Gray is only 18 but he is doing well under Daniel Farke so he shouldn’t be rushed out.
But Leeds certainly want to protect themselves by tying him down to a longer contract and I’m sure there will be a big release clause.
“Leeds would probably be looking at between £70m and £80m for him.
Obviously, Archie Gray is sharp enough to know that if Leeds United get promoted – and I think they will – he will get a chance to play in the Premier League.
While Leeds themselves know that if he plays well his value will skyrocket.
