Deal complete as Archie Gray’s attitude on Brentford transfer is shared as Leeds United make Elland Road exit call.

Deal complete as Archie Gray’s attitude on Brentford transfer is shared as Leeds United make Elland Road exit call.

Despite widespread rumors throughout the season linking Gray to a number of Premier League clubs, sources have consistently claimed that the teenager was more than willing to stay at Elland Road.

Daniel Farke has given the 18-year-old a consistent position in the Whites starting lineup week after week. Although the Premier League is attractive, Gray will not be guaranteed to play first-team action every week.

When combined with his family links to the club, it’s not surprising that the midfielder wants to stay this summer. Unfortunately, Championship clubs are not typically able to refuse £35 million payments.

Gray would have had no chance of returning to the Premier League if Leeds United had earned promotion automatically or through the playoffs. The Wembley defeat to Southampton has been costly in more ways than one.

Whether or not this deal is finalized or a late hijack occurs, it appears like we’ve seen the last of the teenager in a Leeds shirt, at least for now.

In other Leeds United news, Jamie Shackleton is close to accepting a new contract outside of Elland Road this summer.
