Harry Gray was given his Leeds United debut in the final days of the club’s promotion campaign in the Championship. Since then, he has caught the eye of fans at the club.

Many expect him to go down the same route as his brother Archie Gray.

The midfielder broke onto the scene, and made his impact felt in his first season under Daniel Farke. Archie Gray played so well that he earned a £40 million move to Spurs a year later.

While fans would prefer this Gray remain at Elland Road, he is already turning heads.

Harry Gray given vote of confidence after Sheffield Wednesday switch

Last season saw Harry Gray spent the first part of the campaign with Leeds United.

He often trained with the first team, making matchday squads while also featuring for the U21s. Gray was loaned out to Rotherham in January, where he finished the season with three goals.

This summer has seen the youngster join Sheffield Wednesday on a season-long loan.

There is a lot of excitement for Harry Gray before he has even kicked a ball. Sheffield Wednesday legend and former Leeds player Mel Sterland says the youngster will be a success.

“Seriously, the kid can play,” Sterland told The Star.

“He’s a good footballer. He can play up front. He can drop into midfield. He’s got that bit of nastiness in him. He doesn’t mind putting his foot in. He’ll do well at Hillsborough and the fans will love him. The fans will love him because he puts himself about and can score goals.”

Fans will keenly monitor Leeds youngster this season

Even though his numbers were not great, Harry Gray was promising on loan at Rotherham.

And now, instead of spending another season with the U21s, he gets to play with the first team at Sheffield Wednesday. Per The Athletic, there was a reason Leed chose Wednesday.

The Whites believe that League One is a good level for Gray to continue his development.

The fact that Sheffield Wednesday will have an expectant crowd every weekend also factored in the move. Leeds want Gray to play with the first team at a level which is very close to top flight football.

Fans will be eager to watch the young striker as he continues to grow, and will hopefully become the face of Leeds United in the near future.

Yeah, exactly that. Owners will be looking at how much they can sell him for, just like Archie.
