AliousScottish Football Legend Doubtful About Nephew’s Scotland Prospects
Eddie Gray, the former Leeds United and Scotland star, expresses skepticism about his great-nephew Archie Gray representing Scotland internationally.
Despite Archie’s Scottish football heritage, his involvement in England’s youth system makes a switch to Scotland unlikely.
Archie Gray, an 18-year-old midfielder recently signed by Tottenham Hotspur for £40 million, has been on the Scottish Football Association’s radar for years.
However, his progression through England’s youth ranks, including captaining the schoolboy team and featuring in the under-21s, suggests a preference for England.
Eddie Gray acknowledges the difficulty in persuading Archie to choose Scotland, given his immersion in the English football system from a young age.
This situation extends to Archie’s brother Harry as well.
Despite the international allegiance uncertainty, Eddie is optimistic about Archie’s future at Tottenham under manager Ange Postecoglou.
He describes Archie as talented, level-headed, and confident in his abilities.
The young player’s decision to join Spurs was influenced by his positive impression of Postecoglou.
Eddie believes that working under Postecoglou will benefit Archie’s development, predicting success for his great-nephew at Tottenham.
However, he maintains that Archie’s international future likely lies with England rather than Scotland.
