Tottenham Hotspur have signed midfielder Archie Gray from Leeds United, the club have announced.
ESPN reported on Monday that Tottenham had agreed a fee in the region of £25m-£30m as part of a cash-plus-player deal which will see defender Joe Rodon move the other way.
Gray had been close to joining Brentford and travelled down to London last weekend ahead of a proposed medical but the move collapsed after the two clubs failed to agree a payment structure.
Spurs moved quickly to capitalise and the 18-year-old has signed a six-year contract, taking the No. 14 shirt.
Gray, an England Under-21 international, made 52 appearances across all competitions last season as Leeds missed out on promotion from the Championship after losing the play-off final 1-0 to Southampton in May.
Rodon joined Tottenham from Swansea City in October 2020 for an initial £11m fee but struggled to impost himself, starting just eight Premier League games.
The 26-year-old spent last season on loan at Leeds, where he made 50 appearances.
Tottenham have already made Timo Werner's loan move from Red Bull Leipzig permanent while Lucas Bergvall officially joined the club yesterday after agreeing a move from Swedish side Djurgarden in February.
