Archie Gray is finally living up to his potential in a Tottenham shirt, and on Sunday, he has a big chance to start his late push to make the England squad.
After his performance against Atletico Madrid, Les Ferdinand was full of praise for Gray, who dominated the middle of the park for Spurs.
👀 TRUE or FALSE: Archie Gray can become world class at Spurs…
The 20-year-old produced quite possibly his best display in a Spurs shirt so far, so much so that even Marcos Llorente felt the need to acknowledge his performance.
Gray has been growing in confidence for Spurs over recent weeks, and a late bid to make England’s 2026 World Cup squad should not be out of the question.
Archie Gray must look to get one over Elliot Anderson during Spurs vs Nottingham Forest
Archie Gray has extra motivation to perform on Sunday as he will be looking to get one over Elliot Anderson during Tottenham Hotspur against Nottingham Forest.
If Gray is to stand any chance of going to the World Cup, he will need to prove he can perform to a higher standard than Anderson, and Sunday presents him with the perfect chance.
It is a massive game for both players and their two clubs, who are both desperately battling to remain in the Premier League for next season.
Anderson has been one of the best midfielders in the division this term and looks almost guaranteed to be selected by Thomas Tuchel.
There will be other midfield slots for the Spurs star to contend for, but were he to outshine Anderson this weekend, his chances of going would be exponentially boosted.
🗳️ VOTE for Spurs’ best player vs Atletico Madrid…
Real Madrid are keen on signing Gray, which just shows how highly rated he is, and against Atletico, we saw signs of why Spurs paid £40 million to bring him to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2024.
His latest Champions League start against Atleti means he has now overtaken Dele Alli for the most starts made as a Spurs player under the age of 21.
The midfielder as been so dependable over the last two seasons, and it’s great to see him finally finding his feet in Lilywhite.
