Newcastle United have submitted an official offer to sign Tottenham midfielder Archie Gray. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Magpies are keen to secure the signature of the highly-rated youngster.

What's the context?

Newcastle United finished the season in 12th place, with 49 points from 38 games, and a recent form of LWDWL. They scored 53 goals and conceded 55, resulting in a -2 goal difference. The team is 36 points behind leaders Arsenal.

Why the interest in Gray?

Archie Gray is described as a 'future £100m player' by Como scout Ben Mattinson. With Tottenham pushing to sign multiple midfielders, including Newcastle's Sandro Tonali, Gray may find himself down the pecking order.

What's next for Gray?

Gray has a big decision to make regarding his future. Tottenham have already rejected Newcastle's initial bid, but the Magpies remain interested. If Newcastle were to sanction a deal for Tonali to join Tottenham, it could impact their stance on Gray.
