Tottenham Hotspur have decided on the future of Archie Gray as they work on adding big-name signings to their midfield.
According to reports, Tottenham believe they have agreed personal terms with both Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes, as they look to push through two big-money deals.
Additionally, reports indicate that Spurs are also continuing to keep tabs on Alex Scott, whose current deal at Bournemouth has just two years left to run.
These possible big-name arrivals are also expected to trigger several sales, with Lucas Bergvall informing Tottenham of his desire to leave the club.
Tottenham have no intention of selling Archie Gray
TEAMtalk say that while Bergvall is expected to depart Spurs, Gray’s situation ‘contrasts sharply’ with that of the Swede.
Spurs have no plans of allowing Gray to leave this summer despite their plans to strenthen De Zerbi’s midfield options.
Unlike Bergvall, the former Leeds man has no concerns about his role under the Italian coach. In fact, it is revealed that the England U21 internaitonal has been assured of his importance to the club.
Grey remains fully committed to Tottenham, and the Lilywhites have not given any encouragement to clubs that hold an interest in the youngster.
What Roberto De Zerbi thinks of Gray
TEAMtalk say that De Zerbi has been impressed by Gray’s versatility since taking over at the North London club.
The Italian and the Tottenham coaching staff view the 20-year-old’s adaptability as a major asset and believe he can become one of the most important players in the squad.
The feeling among many at Spurs is that Gray is capable of contributing immediately next season while also possessing the potential to become the cornerstone of the club’s project in the years to come.
