Leeds confirmed that Tottenham met a release clause in Gray&#8217;s contract, which was activated due to the club&#8217;s failure to secure promotion back to the Premier League. This sale is crucial for Leeds, ensuring their compliance with profit and sustainability regulations after their loss to Southampton in the Championship play-off final.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\ud83d\udea8\u26aa\ufe0f Archie Gray on why he signed for Spurs: \u201cIt&#8217;s a massive project under Ange and it&#8217;s something I want to be part of\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m massive Celtic fan so I love Ange.

Gray had already begun his medical at Brentford&#8217;s training facility, but Leeds rejected Brentford&#8217;s offer due to issues with the payment structure and add-ons, leading to Spurs finalizing the deal.<\/p>\n<p>This transfer is a significant move for both clubs. Leeds United, facing financial pressures following their play-off defeat, have managed to secure crucial funds through the sale of a promising young talent. Meanwhile, Tottenham have added a versatile and promising player to their squad while also offloading Joe Rodon, who will have the opportunity for more game time at Leeds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tottenham Hotspur have secured the signing of midfielder Archie Gray from Leeds United for approximately \u00a330 million, with defender Joe Rodon heading to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":137,"featured_media":484849,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"tags":[17197,16966],"news_category":[136,14235],"gn_keywords":[19335,18152],"acf":{"announce":"Defender Joe Rodon is heading the other way from Spurs in a separate deal valued at around \u00a310 million","video":[]},"rank_math_focus_keyword":"","rank_math_description":"","rank_math_title":"","rank_math_robots":"","rank_math_canonical_url":"","rank_math_facebook_title":"","rank_math_facebook_description":"","rank_math_facebook_image":"","rank_math_twitter_title":"","rank_math_twitter_description":"","rank_math_twitter_image":"","rank_math_snippet_shortcode":"","rank_math_primary_category":"","rankmath_seo":{"focus_keyword":"","description":"","title":"","canonical_url":"","robots":"","facebook":{"title":"","description":"","image":""},"twitter":{"title":"","description":"","image":""}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/484848"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/137"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=484848"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/484848\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":484850,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/484848\/revisions\/484850"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/484849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=484848"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=484848"},{"taxonomy":"news_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_category?post=484848"},{"taxonomy":"gn_keywords","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gn_keywords?post=484848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
