Tottenham Hotspur’s promising young midfielder Archie Gray is set to make his first start for the club in the upcoming Carabao Cup tie against Coventry City.
The 18-year-old, who joined Spurs during the summer transfer window for a reported fee of £40 million, has already made two substitute appearances in the Premier League.
However, this midweek cup match presents a significant opportunity for Gray to showcase his skills from the start.
As reported by GiveMeSport, Tottenham’s busy fixture list, with both domestic and European commitments, means manager Ange Postecoglou is likely to rotate the squad, giving younger players like Gray the chance to gain valuable experience and develop further.
Gray has already caught the eye with his talent, having made his debut in the 1-1 draw against Leicester City last month. His performances in pre-season also impressed, marking him as one of the club’s brightest prospects.
This does not come as a surprise as Ange has already mentioned how both Ange and Lucas Bervall are expected to play key first-team roles this season.
Spurs supporters are eager to see how the teenage midfielder handles his first start, as the club focuses on nurturing its young talent while competing across various competitions.
This could be a moment for Gray as he looks to cement his place in Postecoglou’s regular plans.
