Archie Gray, in Sevilla’s sights

He Sevilla FC He already has planning in mind for the January transfer market. One of the names that has been most popular in recent days has been that of Archie Gray. The midfielder ended up at Tottenham this summer from Leeds for 40 million euros. A figure that has led him to be among the ten most expensive signings in the history of the ‘Spurs Lilywhites’. However, the 18-year-old has not had much prominence at the beginning of the season. Of the eight games that have been played to date in the Premier League, Gray has only played 33 minutes in four games. However, coach Ange Postecoglou has opted for the player for all Europa League and League Cup matches.

Víctor Orta, Sevilla’s sports director, already praised the young man during an interview he gave to La Media Inglesa three years ago. «I want to say Archie Gray’s name in La Media Inglesa for the first time and In five years you will be talking about him every week», he commented when the footballer still belonged to the Leeds youth ranks. It should be noted that Orta knows the Englishman perfectly, having worked at Leeds during the 2015-17 seasons. Now the Nervionense club is looking reinforce the center of the field and the Tottenham footballer’s option is up in the air. According to Muchodeporte, Sevilla’s interest is real and they are already working on this operation.

The option of releasing him in the January market would be very viable for Tottenham, since Postecoglou is not counting on the player much. However, the English club paid 40 million and the economic situation that Sevilla is going through is not good. A reason that could be a handicap for this negotiation.
