Daniel Farke says he will only ever put Archie Gray in the position which suits Leeds United best in that game, rather than worry about his footballing education.
The 17-year-old grandson of two-time European Cup finalist Frank, brother of Elland Road legend Eddie, is one of England's most exciting young talents. His first season of senior football began with regular appearances in holding midfield and occasionally behind the centre-forward but this month Gray, inset, has also been preferred to Luke Ayling at right-back. Seeing the game from a different angle should do wonders for Gray’s development, but Farke is too single-minded to think about that.
I think his natural position is in midfield but we'll see how his position develops over the next months and years. 'To play different positions always helps but it's not the perfect solution for every player. I'm not sure if it would have benefitted Diego Maradona, Paul Gascoigne or Zinedine Zidane to play in the full-back position but for Archie's it's definitely not a bad choice.
