Gray backed to make his mark at Leeds
- Published
On the latest Don't Go To Bed Just Yet episode, BBC Radio Leeds' Jonny Buchan and Adam Pope answer more of your questions on the Whites.
Harry Gray is the next in line to make waves in a Leeds shirt as he tries to continue the Gray dynasty at the west Yorkshire club.
However, one fan on the podcast believes the Whites should let the 17-year-old leave.
"I have seen this before when players have been brought into a certain point of a club's evolution and it is a massive leap," Pope responded.
"It is almost immeasurable the leap up from being good in the Championship, to then staying in the Premier League."
Unlike his brother Archie, who developed with Leeds in the second tier, the younger sibling - who is currently on loan at Sheffield Wednesday - has got to work his way into a competitive Premier League side at his parent club.
"I understand the fear there. If you have got the talent and the drive, which I think Harry has, then I think there is every possibility he comes back and he is a part of Leeds United going forward. He is really, really young," added Pope.
Gray has featured in six games for the Owls this season, but has yet to get on the scoresheet.
The young forward made his first senior debut under Daniel Farke during the 2024-25 campaign, when the German boss substituted on the then 16-year-old in Leeds' 6-0 win over Stoke City in the Championship.
"I think it is great that he has had this time at Rotherham and Sheffield Wednesday," Pope continued.
"Carrying the weight of the Gray name, he is fine, he has got big shoulders. It is absolutely fine.
"They have grown up around it all with the Gray name, which is a positive thing. I don't think it is an issue. Harry has got a lot of personality as a young guy.
"That is why he wanted to go out and play football. Fair play, back your talent. He will come good."
