During his first season at Tottenham Hotspur, Archie Gray has already racked up 36 appearances in a plethora of positions under Ange Postecoglou.

Last season at Leeds United, Gray predominantly played as either a defensive midfielder or at right-back – his first campaign in senior football.

Now at Tottenham, Gray has also regularly been playing at centre-back and at left-back, two awkward positions for an 18-year-old who’s only just arrived in the Premier League.

However, Gray has coped remarkably well, an England under-21 international who should go on to earn more than 50 caps for his country.

And regardless of whether it’s under Postecoglou or not, Gray will surely succeed at Tottenham.

That being said, Ian Wright couldn’t help but praise Gray when speaking on ‘Wrighty’s House’.

The panel were discussing some of the best young players in the Premier League this season and Gray’s name was front and centre of the chat.

And when listening to all of the praise for Gray, Wright declared why he has also been so impressed with the Spurs youngster, who has taken responsibility for his own performances despite the chaos around him.

Wright said:  “But this is what I’m saying, he has to just, he has to play for, he’s playing for himself. 

“Obviously, he’s trying to play in a chaotic side and we notice him.

“That’s what you do. You do that. If more players started to do that, they might be doing better than they’re doing at the moment.

“But hats off to Archie Gray. You know what I mean? We haven’t seen nowhere near the best of him, but you know what that will have done for him in playing in this time, under Ange at this time at Spurs, it’s going to give him an unbelievable amount of confidence going forward.

“Because I don’t think that in his career, it will ever be as chaotic as this again at this stage for an 18.”

Archie Gray’s future belongs in midfield at Tottenham

Recently, Alan Shearer praised Archie Gray for never hiding when Tottenham were actually knocked out of the FA Cup at the hands of Aston Villa.

Since then, Postecoglou has recovered a lot more players from injury and has finally been able to hand Gray a rest.

Of course, many still consider that Gray’s best position is in midfield, a role he’s barely played in N17.

Perhaps Tottenham envision that Gray will be partnered by Lucas Bergvall in midfield for years to come in north London.

And as Wright protests, the duo and Gray in particular should only improve as a result of what they are experiencing this season.
