Daniel Farke has hinted that he could have some \u201cpositive news\u201d soon regarding a new contract for Harry Gray.<\/p>\n

Gray<\/a> – who has been ruled out of the trip to Burnley on Saturday with his hip flexor issue – turned 17 earlier this month and is therefore now able to sign his first professional deal.<\/p>\n

Farke<\/a> is always hesitant to speak about contract hopes and is trying to shield Gray from the limelight but on Thursday delievered an update that will excite Leeds supporters.<\/p>\n

The Leeds<\/a> boss said: \u201cSo normally, we just speak about once business is done. one of my principles, and I will stick to it. Of course, behind the scenes, we are trying to build also our squad for the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we’re trying to do some business and trying to do positive negotiations for players that attract us. Harry, is a young player, yes, but we see a lot in him.<\/p>\n

“We have spoken about this, and I expect also that, yeah, there are some positive news in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Farke added: \u201cSometimes [I don\u2019t] not speak about any special player, because I just speak about business once business is done.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut in general, it also makes sense, if you announce the extension of a new contract, that you just do this once the player is fit and available. And so for that, I expect also that it’s not too far away that we will have some positive news with some players in our squad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gray, who has made two senior matchday squads this season, is expected back in team training next week. The striker has yet to get onto a first-team pitch since his debut against Stoke City on Championship promotion day in April.<\/p>\n
