Gray, from Leeds United Youth, is a talented multi-resource player who plays both a midfielder and a right full-back position, and has already played 44 league games for Leeds at the age of 18. Shortly after Leeds failed to promote, multiple clubs, including Tottenham and Brentford, began recruiting Gray with high growth potential, and in the end, Gray's choice was Tottenham under manager Angie Postecoglou.
Gray agreed to a six-year contract with Tottenham on the 3rd (Korea time). Tottenham embraced Gray instead of sending Welsh national team Joe Rodon to Leeds.
Tottenham's club is looking forward to Gray, saying he could be a talent that surpasses Jude Bellingham.

"To be honest, I like Coach Postecoglou because I'm a big Celtic fan. The whole family likes him. He was a huge factor in the transfer. Because what kind of coach you play under is a really important factor for me. I'm still 18 years old and I have a lot to learn, so it's really important."
Meanwhile, immediately after the transfer to Tottenham was confirmed, Gray said goodbye to his fans on social media with regret to leave Leeds Academy, where his 15-year-old brother Harry played for more than a decade. "I'd like to thank all the coaching staff, the coaching staff, and everyone at Leeds for the 11 years since I first came here at the age of seven. I have enjoyed every moment at this club and have many fond memories that I will never forget, from watching in the stands to playing on the field," he wrote.
