Tottenham Hotspur Star ‘Really Grateful’ To Have Ange Postecoglou

Big money Tottenham Hotspur signing Archie Gray has admitted he is ‘really grateful’ to be playing for Ange Postecoglou at Spurs.

 

Postecoglou snapped up Gray for a deal worth £40m in the summer transfer window, beating off competition from Brentford to land him from Leeds United.

 

Brentford thought they had the deal in the bag and booked Gray in for a medical, but Spurs swooped in and tempted him to north London.

 

 

Postecoglou started Gray in Tottenham’s Europa League clash with Qarabag in midweek and the defender-midfielder put in a strong display full of running.

 

Gray admits he is happy to have a manager like Postecoglou, who has signalled he has big trust in the 18-year-old.

 

 

“I’m really grateful to have the manager we’ve got. I’m a big fan of him”, Gray was quoted as saying by the BBC.

 

“I’m grateful to have him here and to learn so much off him, it’s a big opportunity for me.

 

 

“To hear stuff like that from him, it makes you trust yourself even more and have more confidence to go out there and be fearless.

 

“That’s what he wants from us and hopefully we can go out and do that every game we’re trusted to be in.”

 

Losing Gray was a huge blow to Leeds, not least due to his family’s association with the Whites, but the Elland Road outfit felt they could not turn down the cash on offer.

 

If Leeds win promotion this season then that would mean an emotional return to Yorkshire next term in the Premier League for the youngster.
