Gray makes honest Tottenham admission for £5m teenage star Deal
Leeds United return to action tomorrow and know victory at early frontrunners Sunderland could send them top of the Championship table – even if only for a few hours. Daniel Farke’s side are three points off first-place after securing a hard-earned 1-1 draw at Norwich City, their third straight game without defeat.

Seventeen-year-old Shaw is already cementing himself as a first-team player at Bristol Rovers, building on last season’s debut with four appearances so far this campaign for the League One outfit. A first senior goal came in last month’s 3-3 EFL trophy draw against Tottenham Hotspur Under-21s, with manager Matt Taylor admitting the winger was his best player on the night.
“What he’s worth is a difficult one, as he’s a very talented youngster,” Palmer told Football League World. “Obviously, he needs to be getting game time and Matt Taylor has said they are conscious he’s only 17, and that they need to manage his game time and how he plays. Bristol Rovers will be looking for decent money for him already; maybe £5m or £6m with add-ons. Then maybe Bristol Rovers could do a deal which involves him being loaned back, so that he gets his education.”

Gray admission
Archie Gray feels more ‘robust and strong’ after a full campaign of Championship football at Leeds last season. Gray joined Tottenham in a £40m deal over the summer and impressed at his new club, but the 18-year-old has not forgotten those who helped him develop in West Yorkshire during a debut year of first-team football.
