EXCLUSIVE NEWS:According to Fabrizio Romano Liverpool are the leading contenders in signing leads 17-year-old top talent. Liverpool plans to pay £40 million for him, just three months after he made his first team debut. He said “My goal for next season is is playing in the Champions League and I have been a Liverpool fan since I was a kid I’m ready to join Liverpool and live my dreams “.

Liverpool is getting ready to make a summer offer for Leeds midfielder Archie Grey, which might end up costing them more than £40 million.

After making his professional debut on the first day of the season, the 17-year-old has become one of the stars of the Championship. He has appeared in all but one of Leeds’ games.

Because of his quickness and versatility, Grey has been likened to Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool for both midfield and right back.

The 16-year-old was listed on Leeds’ bench for a Premier League match against Arsenal two years prior. He was a frequent substitute for Marcelo Bielsa and Javi Gracia, but Daniel Farke was not given the opportunity to make his debut until this season.

Although Leeds would be hesitant to let go of a player who joined their academy at the age of nine and is the great-nephew of legendary club member Eddie Grey, they might not have much of an option given the interest of Crystal Palace and Everton in addition to other Premier League teams.

Leeds values Grey at between £40 million and £50 million, and as his contract expires in 2025, the club might have to cash in come summertime.

Prior to joining Nottingham Forest and having a prosperous EFL career that included two caps for Scotland, Gray’s father Andy was also a player for Leeds.

Harry, his 14-year-old brother, is a fixture in Leeds’ under-18 squad and is equally well-liked by the organisation.
