In typical Spurs fashion, they’ve gone from looking unstoppable in the Europa League to sitting in fifth place as per the time of writing after a 3-2 defeat to Galatasaray. Missing seven key senior players, as confirmed by Premier Injuries, Tottenham leaned on young talents like Archie Gray, who played a solid 90 minutes. Leicester City have expressed interest in signing the promising youngster on loan, and they’re not the only club keen on securing the teenager’s services.
Newly promoted Premier League Veterans Leicester City are reportedly interested in bringing Tottenham’s Archie Gray on loan during the January transfer window, according to Yorkshire Post Sport. Meanwhile, Sevilla also “remain interested” in the young talent, with sporting director Victor Orta, formerly of Leeds United, keeping a close eye on Gray’s progress.
The Tottenham – Leicester bond keeps growing
Earning £75,000 per week, Archie Gray ranks as the second-highest-paid young player at the Prem. Despite featuring in only 10 games so far, he’s poised to play a more pivotal role with several senior players currently sidelined due to injuries. This could be his opportunity to step up and showcase his talent, proving why the club values him so highly.
Leicester City seem to be establishing a trend by targeting Tottenham players, having already secured Harry Winks and Oliver Skipp, and now eyeing Archie Gray to complete a potential midfield trio. The connection between the two clubs has been strong, especially following James Maddison’s move to Spurs in 2023.
However, Tottenham would be wise to hold onto Gray this season. Despite recent comments about his limited game time, a loan move could be short-sighted given the depth needed as Spurs face a demanding schedule. Gray’s development and impact could prove invaluable as the season progresses.

With the current squad already having many injuries, talents like Archie Gray who can cover both the backline and midfield can be very crucial for Tottenham’s depth. Letting him leave in January simply isn’t an option. His flexibility offers too much value to the team, particularly in a season that demands fight across multiple competitions.
