Teen star Archie Gray has set his sights on lofty Leeds United ambitions and the eventual aim of representing the Whites alongside a particular younger teammate.

Gray has made an impressive ascension to the first team this
season at just 17 years of age and already has nine starts under his belt ahead
of Saturday’s lunchtime showdown against Championship hosts Southampton.
Speaking to LUTV in an interview with his great uncle and
Whites legend Eddie, the young midfielder said his aim was ultimately to win
titles with Leeds as he set his sights on representing the club in the Premier
League and the notion of playing alongside his younger brother Harry.
Pressed on the task of eventually getting Leeds back to the
Premier League, Gray said: “Definitely. That's something I have dreamed of when
I was younger, winning titles with Leeds, it's what you dream of, especially as
a Leeds fan.
"You can't really ask for anything more. Obviously we
want to do our best this year and then hopefully that takes us to the place we
want to be next year and then just taking it from there on, taking it step by
step and obviously all of us in the team, we all want to do incredible things.
"But it's just about taking it step by step and taking
each game by game, not looking too far ahead and just taking it training
session by training session as well."
Asked about the idea of maybe one stay stepping out
alongside his younger brother Harry, Gray smiled: "I'd love to play with
him. I wouldn't like to train with him, he'd be way too competitive but I'd
love to play with him.”
