Archie Gray's contract is excellent news for Leeds United

Transcript

00:00 It's very, very, very good news. It's not a surprise to me at all. The Gray family,

00:06 obviously absolutely beloved in Leeds. One thing that's always struck me is just how

00:13 grounded and sensible everything is with the Grays. His dad, very, very level-headed, knows

00:22 the game very, very well. Obviously an agent, so knows the business side of it and knows kind of

00:28 the situations that crop up, knows about looking after players. So he's kind of coming at it

00:34 from a parental side and from an agent, a business side. But it's always struck me that

00:42 what seems to come first with them, and this isn't just with Archie, I think this is generally

00:48 kind of an ethos perhaps as an agency as well, that where is your best chance of playing?

00:54 Which club is going to let you play at a time when you really need to play? It's a bit of a

01:03 no-brainer, isn't it, for Archie Gray at Leeds? This is the club that he loves. He's obviously

01:09 really enjoying himself. He's clearly getting on very well with Farke and under Farke. He's made

01:17 himself a very popular member of the dressing room. When I went to the school visit earlier

01:22 this season and he and Rodon were there, yes, there was a little bit of that Archie's the young lad.

01:30 But the way you see him interact with his teammates and the way they interact with him,

01:36 it's interacting as peers. He's one of the team. He's not the work experience lad in the corner

01:42 making the teas. They've accepted him as a proper player and that's because he is one on the pitch.
