AliousTottenham Hotspur’s new signing Archie Gray has revealed that former Spurs player Joe Rodon asked team captain Son Heung-min to look after him upon his arrival at the club.
Gray, who joined Tottenham from Leeds United, had a close relationship with Rodon during their time together at Leeds.
In an interview with Football London, Gray mentioned that Son has been helping him both on and off the pitch, making him feel welcome and assisting him in integrating with the team.
Gray believes this support stems from Rodon’s request to Son, as the two players maintained a good friendship despite Rodon’s limited time at Tottenham.
Gray, an 18-year-old talent, has been featuring prominently in Tottenham’s pre-season games, often playing as a center-back despite it not being his primary position.
His performances have already impressed teammate Ben Davies, who described Gray as “incredibly talented.”
This gesture from Rodon highlights the camaraderie among players, even as they move between clubs.
Despite leaving Tottenham for Leeds permanently, Rodon took steps to ensure Gray would be well-received at his new club.
The story also underscores Son’s role as a supportive captain, welcoming young talents like Gray into the squad.
As Tottenham continues to focus on signing and developing young players under manager Ange Postecoglou, such a welcoming environment could prove crucial for their long-term success.
