Eddie Gray has revealed that Leeds United wonder Archie Gray will represent England at international level rather than Scotland despite his best efforts to convince him otherwise.
Eddie – a Leeds legend in his own right and Archie’s uncle – explained that he tried his best to persuade the 18-year-old to switch allegiances but was unsuccessful.
Having represented England through the youth age groups, questions had emerged about whether he would represent the Three Lions or switch to Scotland – the country that his dad, uncle and grandad all represented.
Speaking live on talkSPORT [23 April, 07:40], Gray joked: “Yep, unfortunately, that’s how it is.
“He’s played for England from a young age, since the under-15s, he’s played through the youth ranks. I can’t persuade him to play for Scotland, I tried my best but nothing’s worked.”
Archie Gray earns international shouts after Leeds United form
It says a lot about the form Gray has shown at Elland Road this season that despite his young age and relative inexperience, there has already been plenty of discussion surrounding his future international career and where that may be.
