Wilfried Gnonto and Crysencio Summerville are among those to heap praise on Archie Gray after his debut for Leeds United on Sunday.
Gray posted an Instagram message to Leeds supporters on Monday night after playing almost the full game of the 2-2 draw with Cardiff City, stating it was a ‘dream come true’ to play for the club he has always supported.
The 17-year-old was one of Leeds’ best players at the weekend as they were forced to come from two goals down to rescue a late draw in the final minute of stoppage time.
Leeds dominated the match for large periods and received their just rewards through Summerville’s equaliser, with Gray having been a key part of the performance.
Former Leeds striker was on punditry duty for Sky Sports at Elland Road, and hailed Gray’s display as ‘phenomenal’.
Gnonto praises Gray after Leeds debut
Gnonto, Summerville and Georginio Rutter are just a selection of the vast amount of comments from current and former Leeds teammates following his performance.
Despite all of that aforementioned trio only being young themselves, they clearly recognise what sort of talent they are playing alongside in Gray.
If it wasn’t already clear during pre-season, it is extremely evident now that Gray is set to play a prominent role in Leeds’ first team this year.
The Whites undoubtedly need to strengthen their options in the middle of the park before the end of the window, but they now know they can more than rely on Gray despite being just 17.
Gray clearly already has an excellent understanding with Ethan Ampadu and that will only get better the more games they play alongside one another.
