When Leeds United<\/a> sold Archie Gray to Tottenham for \u00a340million in the summer of 2024, few expected Leeds to be in a strong position to finish above the North London club in two years\u2019 time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Whites are seven games away from the end of the Premier League season. And, one of the most stunning relegation stories could be unfolding.<\/p>\n

While Leeds are certainly not anywhere near being out of the mire, Spurs<\/a> are incredibly staring down the barrel after a 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest last time out<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Former Leeds United gem Archie Gray a lone shining light in Spurs\u2019 woeful season<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a striking issue for me, watching on at Spurs\u2019 plight right now. It\u2019s that there are alarming similarities to ours and Leicester City\u2019s relegation in 22\/23.<\/p>\n

We had enough to stay up, so did Leicester. But, the players didn\u2019t care, and the managerial decisions taken were bordering on nonsensical.<\/p>\n

Igor Tudor\u2019s inability to get ideas across is bad enough. But, players such as Cristian Romero strolling around the pitch<\/a> makes for grim viewing. Archie Gray<\/a>, though, has been a rare bright spot in the Spurs performances.<\/p>\n

Their spirited display against Atletico Madrid was potentially the \u00a340million<\/a> midfielder\u2019s best performance since swapping West Yorkshire for North London in 2024.<\/p>\n

Online, Gray is coming in for huge praise from the Spurs fanbase. Despite only turning 20 this month, Gray has been lauded for the maturity and grit he\u2019s shown. Now, he\u2019s being given more opportunity to play in midfield.<\/p>\n

Leeds United have no sell-on clause in Archie Gray\u2019s Tottenham contract<\/p>\n

The question is whether Gray will be at Spurs much longer. Of course, he didn\u2019t leave his boyhood Leeds thinking he\u2019d see United above Spurs within two years of his transfer.<\/p>\n

Spurs\u2019 spiral towards the drop means that any standout performers from the squad could be lined up by clubs higher up the food chain. It\u2019s something we experienced when losing the England youngster in the first place.<\/p>\n

Loose rumours<\/a> suggest Manchester United could be interested in signing Gray this summer.<\/p>\n

However, any transfer of Gray to clubs higher up would be immaterial to Leeds. The \u00a340million exit in July 2024 came without Leeds agreeing a sell-on clause<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Having signed Gray\u2019s contract in the January of that year, Leeds were unable to then negotiate a sell-on clause further down the line when Spurs came to the table.<\/p>\n

Even if it were the case, Spurs being relegated would leave them unlikely to register significant profit above \u00a340million, for Leeds to therefore benefit from a sell-on clause. <\/p>\n

Most, if not all, sell-on clauses are based on the profit made above the original sum. So, Leeds would have needed Spurs to make more than \u00a340million to gain anything in a sell-on clause, had we included one.<\/p>\n

For example, Leeds sold Charlie Cresswell<\/a> in the same window to Toulouse for \u00a33.8million<\/a>. Leeds are entitled to 15% of any profit<\/a> made by the French club. No such clause is present for Gray, according to reports from the YEP<\/a> at the time.<\/p>\n
