Few would challenge a father on any topic when it comes to their son, but Jesse Marsch was happy to give Andy Gray some food for thought on Archie this summer. Leeds United’s schoolboy sensation has proved to be the big story of pre-season after linking up with the first-team squad and impressing on the field.
The 16-year-old first caught the eye when Marcelo Bielsa included him in the travelling party at Tottenham Hotspur last November. Bench inclusions would follow as injuries ravaged the squad, but Marsch has kicked the narrative on this summer.
Not only is Gray going to be considered a first-team player, but he will play and not just sit on the fringes. Marsch first spoke about the teenager after the first friendly of the summer at York when Gray excelled.
