Harry Gray development emerges ahead of Leeds United v Stoke City
Leeds United face a crucial Championship clash with Stoke on Easter Monday.
Daniel Farke’s side could be promoted if results go their way as Burnley and Sheffield United face off later in the evening (21 April).
They must do their job first though and beat the Potters if they are to secure a Premier League berth with two games to spare.
Harry Gray could be in the Leeds squad
Leeds sold Archie Gray to Tottenham for £40million in 2024, and now his brother could be set to make his first senior appearance for the Whites.
Harry Gray is yet to make a first-team appearance for the Elland Road outfit and is just 16-years-old but he could be included by Farke.
BBC reporter Adam Pope stated that he believes the youth team striker will be with the squad for the contest against Stoke at Elland Road.
I believe Harry Gray is with the squad today. #LUFC

Leeds have a promising future with Gray
The young prospect is already considered one of the hottest prospects in English football and could follow in his brother’s footsteps at Elland Road, although they will hope that he stays put rather than leaving for greener pastures.
The younger Gray has already trained with the first-team and has scored three goals in seven Premier League 2 appearances, showing his exciting potential.

His rapid rise has not gone unnoticed with the likes of Arsenal, Newcastle United and inevitably Spurs holding an interest in his services after his exploits in youth football.
He has also represented England at the Under-17 level on two occasions and if Farke does not hand him his debut soon, the elite clubs may be lined up to poach him away like they did to his older brother.
However, it may be too risky for the German to play Gray in the clash with Stoke, depending on the scoreline, if Leeds are comfortably ahead, there is no harm in giving him some minutes in the second half for his debut.
If they are struggling, then it is unlikely that he will make his bow, and he will have to wait, given the implications that the result could have on the promotion battle.
