Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou will not be short of attacking options during the fast-approaching 2024/25 campaign after wasting no time in negotiating a fresh loan deal which will see Timo Werner rejoin from Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig in a switch which includes an £8.5million option to buy.
Swedish teenager Lucas Bergvall will also link up with his new teammates in the coming weeks, having made the move from Djurgardens after snubbing Barcelona’s advances during the early stages of 2024, but Postecoglou is working with chairman Daniel Levy and technical director Johan Lange to draft in further reinforcements.
Spurs Edging Towards Landing Gray
Teenager has agreed personal terms and undergone medical
Tottenham are in line to complete the acquisition of Gray on Monday after reaching a verbal agreement in principle with Leeds, according to GMS sources, and the 18-year-old has already rubber-stamped personal terms as he nears embarking on a fresh challenge away from his boyhood club.
The central midfielder showed his versatility by featuring at right-back 30 times during the 2023/24 Championship campaign, but he was still left frustrated when he and his teammates were deprived of a quickfire return to the top flight when Daniel Farke’s side suffered a narrow defeat to Southampton in the play-off final in May.
Gray’s ability to fill in on the right-hand side of the backline will result in him providing Pedro Porro with competition for a regular starting berth when his switch to Tottenham is completed, and GMS sources have been informed that his medical has already been conducted in anticipation of the switch being given the green-light.
