Tottenham Hotspur are yet to really introduce themselves to the 2024 summer transfer window.
You just wonder what the expectations are of the fans because, whilst Ange Postecoglou has brought some much-needed life back into the team, you know there is always something to bring it down.
In years gone by, Daniel Levy might have been a marmite-like figure for some of his transfer deals or even the lack of them.
But ever since Postecoglou replaced Antonio Conte in the Tottenham dugout, he has been backed and that was proven last summer.
Before a ball was kicked, you could argue that the signing of the summer was James Maddison because he was a player the team very much craved.
Yes, as the season went on, players like Guglielmo Vicario and especially Micky van de Ven seriously impressed and became fan favourites.
But nothing beats the capture and signing of Maddison. Take away his injury lay-off that derailed his season, he was outstanding and a breath of fresh air for most parts.
However, could that possible deal now be beaten by the London club ahead of the new Premier League season?
Tottenham Hotspur closing in on Archie Gray deal
Graeme Bailey has told TBR that Tottenham are closing in on a deal to sign Leeds United’s highly-rated talent, Archie Gray.
The 18-year-old played 44 Championship matches last term at right-back and in the middle of the park but Leeds were beaten by Southampton in the play-off final.
If Levy can pull this one off for Postecoglou, then it would be the best transfer deal he has done yet since he joined the club – sources have told HITC that they could beat Brentford to this deal.
Gray is an incredible talent and very much loved by the Leeds fans. Football is in his blood. His family name has repped the Yorkshire outfit through the decades.
But you must be excited if you are a Spurs fan as to what this player can transform into.
Archie Gray under Ange Postecoglou
There will be some pointing towards a certain Jack Clarke and how he struggled when he made this very same move in 2019.
Spurs were in a completely different headspace then. They were just overcoming the departure of Mauricio Pochettino, senior players were leaving and big changes were being made.

It has taken a fair few years, but they now have a manager who suits their style of play and will be perfect for a player like Gray.
Postecoglou has a no-nonsense style about him. He will verbally batter you if he doesn’t like what he sees, but equally, he will also put his arm around your shoulder if need be.
That’s perfect for Gray, as well as playing in an attacking system where he can put his head up and express himself.
And just take a look at Postecoglou’s signings so far, they have all showcased promise, high quality and improved since moving to the club, so there isn’t any reason why Gray can’t do the same.
