Harry Gray is considered the brightest young talent to come out of the Leeds United academy since his brother Archie Gray. The club are now pushing to ensure that they secure his long-term future at the club with a new contract for the teenage striker.
Harry’s exploits for the Leeds Under-21s have led to calls for him to make his Premier League debut soon. However, Daniel Farke has been reluctant to push him into the limelight at this stage of his development.
The Leeds manager shows a real reluctance to discuss the teenage striker in a public setting and believes the forward should be allowed to develop from the glare of the media, as he still has a lot to learn as a footballer.
However, Harry’s surname is considered royalty at Leeds United, and speculation over his future is doing the rounds, as despite turning 17 last year, he has yet to sign professional terms with the club.
Leeds and Harry Gray expect to finalise a new contract soon
There was an anticipation over the possibility of Leeds announcing a new contract once Harry turned 17 last week, but nothing happened.
According to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Tottenham and Manchester City are among the clubs that have been keeping tabs on the young striker and are keen to snare him away from Elland Road.
The longer there is no update on a new deal, there will be growing worries over Leeds losing one of their brightest talents for nothing in the near future.
However, it has been claimed that both Leeds and Harry expect to finalise the terms of a new contract in the coming weeks.
The Gray family are happy with his development at Leeds and have no plans to take him out of the club at this stage of his career, despite interest from bigger clubs.
Tottenham have been hoping that Archie’s presence in north London could help them convince Harry to join his brother at the club.
However, Leeds are not worried about losing him just yet, and he is set to sign a new contract with the club soon.
