Done Deal: Sunderland beats Newcastle United to sign £200.1m target, as confirmed by his agent after victory!” DONE DEAL…
The Durham-born midfielder is nearing a big-money £40million move to Tottenham
Sunderland’s Championship rivals look set to lose one of their star players ahead of the 2024-25 season.
Durham-born Archie Gray is seen as one of the best young footballers in the country after the midfielder broke into Leeds United’s first-team last season, making 44 Championship appearances under Daniel Farke.
However, Leeds United’s failure to win promotion against Southampton in the Championship play-off final at Wembley at the end of last season looks to have had a knock-on impact when it comes to Gray.
The 18-year-old starlet has become the subject of intense transfer speculation with reports now stating that the player is close to signing for Premier League club Tottenham in a deal worth around £40million, with Wales international Joe Rodon heading to Elland Road for £10million as part of the move.
The player looked to be heading to Brentford before Spurs swooped with an 11th-hour bid. Gray joined Leeds United at the under-nines level but now looks set to depart, meaning The Whites’ coffers will be boosted to the tune of £30million.
