Tottenham scouts blown away by Harry Gray amid Leeds exit news
Harry Grey made his senior debut for Leeds United, and now Tottenham is threatening to raid them for him.
Dan James was unexpectedly replaced by Grey in Leeds’ matchday squad for their Easter Monday (April 21) match against Stoke City at Elland Road.
Daniel Farke was able to give the 16-year-old his first-team debut late in the game since the Whites had already taken a 6-0 lead before the hour mark when Joel Piroe scored four goals.
Having made his debut for the West Yorkshire team with four minutes remaining, the attacker became the most recent member of the Grey family to do so. He replaced Brenden Aaronson.
Tottenham to raid Leeds again
With his performances for the Leeds youth teams, Grey has caught the interest of supporters and commentators, and he is set up for success at Elland Road.
Tottenham has noticed his skills and potential, though, so the Peacocks will already be worried.

Gray’s progress at Thorp Arch is being monitored by Spurs, according to Give Me Sport.
The North London powerhouses have dispatched scouts to observe the teenager in action this season, the news outlet announced on their website on Wednesday, April 23.
Tottenahm’s officials are reportedly considering attacking Leeds after being impressed by the youngster, only a year after he took his brother Archie Grey from them.
Plans are in place for the Premier League team to keep an eye on Grey and is not in a rush to decide whether to sign him.
Gray to stay at Elland Road
It is hardly surprising that teams like Tottenham are already interested in Grey because he is one of the most highly regarded talents in the Leeds development system.
However, given that he is about to make a breakthrough in the first squad, it is unlikely that the West Yorkshire team will approve his departure this summer.
His thrilling time with Leeds has only begun, and his cameo against Stoke is just the start. There is no question that he has more to offer at Elland Road.
Leeds, meanwhile, will probably oppose any offer for the talent for the foreseeable future.

Marcelo Bielsa dragged in at Leeds as ‘phenomenal’ Daniel Farke detail emerges
Daniel Farke led Leeds United to promotion, but he still has to worry about his future.
In his second season as Leeds’ manager, the German mastermind has once again lived up to his reputation as a promotion specialist by leading the team back to the Premier League.
Fans and commentators are calling for Farke to be fired before the upcoming season, raising doubts about his legitimacy as a Premier League manager.
On Wednesday, April 23, it was revealed that the 48-year-old’s future at Elland Road is in grave jeopardy as the Whites organisation evaluates him before allowing him to return to the top division.
Marcelo Bielsa claim emerges at Leeds amid Farke uncertainty
Despite scepticism over Farke’s capacity to guide Leeds in the Premier League, Jermaine Beckford has standing up for the manager.
In spite of losing Archie Grey, Georginio Rutter, and Crysencio Summerville to injury last summer, the former Elland Road star praised the German for giving his team confidence.
Additionally, he mentioned that the West Yorkshire team has won 27 Championship games so far this season, which is just one less than their total from 2020, when they were promoted under Marcelo Bielsa.
| Matches | Wins | Draws | Losses | GD | PTS | |
| Bielsa (2019-20) | 46 | 28 | 9 | 9 | 42 | 93 |
| Farke (2024-25) | 44 | 27 | 13 | 4 | 60 | 94 |
The only reason Farke is still not given the recognition he deserves, according to Beckford, is because he is not Bielsa. He called Leeds’ season-ending results “phenomenal.”
“Who would have predicted the change in fortunes when you have players like Archie Grey, Georginio Rutter, and Crysencio Summerville – three important players departing in the summer, after missing out in the play-offs?” Beckford asked on BBC Radio 5 Live, as reported on the BBC website (22 April, 10:53 am).
“The players that came in – man for man – may not have been good individually as the players that left. But what they did bring was unity and team spirit.
“Leeds have got 27 wins this season, they got 28 under Biesla – the last time we went up. But we’ve scored more goals, conceded less goals, we’ve got more points.
“It’s phenomenal, but those stats do get overlooked because Daniel Farke is not Marcelo Bielsa.”
Farke deserves Premier League chance
It would be quite unfair to fire Farke at this time, even though his Premier League record while serving as Norwich’s manager is not encouraging.
Four years have passed since he was the Canaries’ manager. It’s important to note that the tactician has since managed Borussia Monchengladbach and two more teams.
Without a doubt, Farke will be motivated to lead Leeds to a respectable finish the following season in order to disprove his sceptics.
