Liverpool want to sign Archie Gray of Leeds United

Liverpool, alongside a number of other Premier League clubs, show interest in securing the services of 17-year-old Archie Gray of Leeds United as the summer transfer window approaches. In fact, the Reds showed interest in getting him on board over the January transfer window, but the player decided to remain put at the West Midlands side.

The 17-year-old has caught the attention of the Reds, Newcastle United and Manchester City, according to HITC via ECHO. His recent decision to extend his contract with Leeds United until 2028 (Transfermarkt) hasn’t deterred the interest of either of the interested parties.

Despite his commitment to the Yorkshire club, the trio of top-flight clubs are still closely monitoring the talented teenager, indicating that the race for his signature remains open. Gray’s versatility and adaptability have been on full display this season, with the midfielder impressing while deployed at right-back under the guidance of Leeds’ head coach, Daniel Farke. Despite being played out of his natural position, Gray has demonstrated maturity and quality beyond his years, showcasing his potential to excel in various roles on the pitch.
