Liverpool want to sign Leeds United starlet Harry Gray
Liverpool want to sign Leeds United academy starlet Harry Gray as well as his brother Archie, according to a report by HITC.
Writing on their website (9 February), the news outlet report that the Merseyside giants are interested in signing the Gray brothers with a host of top clubs interested in both of the teenagers.
“Sources have also told us that Liverpool have shown an interest in Gray’s younger brother Harry as well,” they wrote.
“Harry Gray is only 15 years of age and plays as a striker.”
Leeds United can’t stop their academy being raided
Leeds have done a great job of bringing in top young talent in recent years and creating a pathway for them to get into the first-team.
The likes of Wilfried Gnonto, Crysencio Summerville, Illan Meslier and Mateo Joseph have all grown into first-team players at the club after joining at a very young age, and they’re improving every day.
Archie Gray has also shown that there is a clear pathway to get into the Elland Road first-team if you’re good enough, and with Harry also coming from the legendary Gray family he will also know that too. Phil Hay even lablled him as “incredibly talented” not too long ago.
But just like was the case with Finlay Gorman at the back end of 2023 with Manchester City, the Whites are essentially powerless to stop a top club coming in and poaching their best talent if they offer a certain fee and the player wants to go.
Archie signed a new deal in January which could be really helpful to trying to convince Harry to stick around and see his development through at Thorp Arch, but getting promotion back to the Premier League may be essential to that.
