TBR Football understands that Gray and Tottenham have not 🦂talked about possible plans for him to leave in January.

We are told that Ange Postecoglou sees Gray as an important part of the squad, w♊ho ꦅis learning every day from training with the current squad.

Likewise, Gray has shown no desi﷽re to push♎ for a move away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

We understand that, should Gray have looked to le🍒ave, then former club Leeds would have beꦰen happy to take him back to Elland Road until the end of the season.

However, there is no prospect of him leaving as it stands🍬.

Ange Postecoglou a big fan of Gray

A few weeks ago, reported that Tottenham were bracing themselves for Gray to be the subject of loan off🔯ers.

The report suggested that Spurs were yet ܫto make a decision on the teenager’s short-term 🥀future, but it looks as though they’ve made their mind up.

Postecoglou has consistently praised Gray, suggesting he’s not planning to let him🐟 go anywhere else th𝓰is season.

“You saw guys like Radu [Dragusin], Archie [Gray] and Rodrigo [Bentancur] come in tonight and they did a fantastic job for the team,” Postecoglou said after the Carabao Cup win over Manchester Cit🍃y.

Postecoglou also said of Gray and ot🍸her Spurs yo🀅ungsters in September: “The th🍸ree we’ve brought in, with Mikey [Moore] and y🅠oung Will Lankshear as well, Wilson, Archie, Lucas, I just love watching them in training at the moment.

“They want to play🔴, they want to mak♐e an impact. They don’t look or behave like 18, 19-year-olds. Which is great for me.

“When they’re 21, they’re🌸 hopefully going to be flying and it’s part of our responsibility to develop them.”
