'I see young Zinedine Zidane.'

Tottenham Hotspur made an interesting move in the summer transfer window. It attracted special talents in their late teens and early 20s who could be a great help in the near future rather than players who will immediately add strength to the team's power. Originally, Tottenham's characteristic was to recruit cheap and young prospects, but that was more prominent this summer.

Three top talents have already joined the team through the summer transfer market. Lucas Beribal (18), who signed his contract in January, joined Tottenham in the summer and has been active since the new season, while Archie Gray (18) and Wilson O'Donbert (20) likewise wore Tottenham uniforms during the summer transfer window. Yang Min-hyuk (18), the most sacred player in the K League 1, also signed with Tottenham. As in Veribal's case, Yang Min-hyuk will spend the rest of this year at Gangwon FC and then join Tottenham in January next year.

Prior to this, coach Enze Postecoglou brought in Pape Sarr (22) and Destiny Udoji (22) as soon as he took office and is using them as key players. Tottenham's policy of recruiting young talent is very successful.

However, among the young talents who attracted like this, there is a particularly prominent player. It's Archie Gray. Midfielder Gray's talent is even compared to French legend Zinedine Zidane.

The British TBR Football reported on the 13th (Korea time) 'A Tottenham coach said he was reminiscent of Zidane while looking at Gray. Gray's perfect form and accurate ball control ability remind him of Zidane.

Citing a special article about Gray covered by Sky Sports, the media reported that Tottenham's coaches admired Gray's talent. In particular, Andy Wright, who once taught Gray as a former Leeds academy coach, praised Gray for his dry mouth in this article and mentioned Zidane's name. He said "I remember watching Gray's game and saying 'Oh, my God, it reminds me of Zidane. Zidane did something that people didn't expect at all when he was active. Gray did exactly that."

Simon Clifford, who first introduced Brazilian soccer skills to England, also praised Gray's crazy talent. He said "Gray played with a small, heavy ball in a very narrow gym two or three times a week. I could remember him by seeing a lot of what he was doing, how he could avoid problems. It was such a precious time for Gray"He explained that he built his present talent through a lot of effort from childhood." We are looking forward to how Gray's crazy talent will change Tottenham in the future.
