The 18-year-old secured a permanent switch to North London earlier this summer
Archie Gray has opened up on the key advice given to him by his family that helped him secure a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
Initially, it was thought that the 18-year-old star was heading to Brentford after agreeing personal terms with the Premier League outfit. Gray, however, chose another London-based side and after lengthy conversations with Ange Postecoglou, a deal was struck with the Liliywhites. “It’s a huge club and my dad said that too,” said Gray. “He came to my room one morning and said ‘look, you’ve got to go to Spurs. It’s a massive club’. My grandad was saying it as well, he’s obviously done pretty well in his career, and he said at some point you’ve got to go to one of the biggest clubs in England and he thinks now is the right time and he thinks Spurs is a massive club as well.”
