Speaking on the Premier League world feed, Upson said on 26 January at 14:18: “Magnificent defending that from Archie Gray. Closed him down well.

“I think he’s been very impressive, I have to say.

“I think it’s one positive for this really poor period of Spurs that he’s coming through.

“I think he’s taken it really well.”

Archie Gray has been an exceptional signing for Tottenham

His performance in the first half against Leicester underlines his potential and current capability.

The teenager’s ability to remain composed under the spotlight of Premier League football speaks volumes about his character and professionalism.

With the North London outfit going through a challenging period, Gray’s emergence as a reliable and impressive young defender is a beacon of hope.
