Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing Leeds United youngster Archie Gray this summer.
The 18-year-old is enjoying a breakthrough season for the Whites in the Championship as they attempt to secure automatic promotion to the Premier League.
Primarily a midfielder, Gray has featured predominantly at right-back for Daniel Farke's side this term, playing in 37 second-tier matches so far.
The youngster has managed to find the net on one occasion and provide an assist twice for his teammates, despite playing his first season in the professional game.
Farke's charges are on the hunt for an immediate return to the Premier League, with the Yorkshire club currently second, one point ahead of third-placed Leicester City.

Spurs join race for Leeds wonderkid?
According to Football Insider, interest in the services of Leeds' Gray is beginning to intensify ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.
The report claims that the second-tier Whites are expecting to be flooded with serious offers for the 18-year-old at the end of the campaign.
It is understood that Tottenham have joined the hunt for the signature of Gray, with Ange Postecoglou looking to evolve his side in North London.
Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White is also supposedly a target for the Lilywhites, who are aiming to secure Champions League qualification in the final stages of this season.
It is believed that Spurs are also keen on recruiting a top-class centre forward, having failed to truly replace Harry Kane after he departed to Bayern Munich last summer.

Liverpool and Everton also keen on Gray
Due to his standout performances in the Championship at such a young age, Gray has attracted interest from clubs around the Premier League ahead of the summer.
Planning for life after Jurgen Klopp, it is said that title-chasing Liverpool are preparing to make an offer for the England Under-21 international in the future.
The same can be said of the Reds' Merseyside rivals Everton, who could be a horse in the race for Gray should the Toffees avoid the drop to the Championship.
Additionally, it is understood that Crystal Palace have recently sent scouts to monitor the progress and performances of Gray in person before a potential summer swoop.
Aiming to regain their spot at the top of the Championship, Gray and Leeds will welcome top-six hopefuls Hull City to Elland Road on Easter Monday.
