Indeed, Mikey Moore has been tipped for big things at Spurs, while Lucas Bergvall looks like he could become a star too.

However, perhaps the most exciting young player at Spurs is Archie Gray.

Gray has huge potential, and speaking on the Training Ground Guru Podcast, Nick Montgomery has been discussing the youngster and his attitude.

Montgomery was, of course, a coach at Tottenham alongside Ange Postecoglou, and he says that Gray was absolutely brilliant at Spurs on the training ground last season.

According to Montgomery, both Gray and Lucas Bergvall are incredibly hard workers in training at Tottenham.

Indeed, according to the coach, both youngsters have a brilliant mindset, claiming that Gray does a lot of extras in the gym after training.

In fact, Montgomery says that Gray and Bergvall sometimes have to be forced off the training ground because they are doing too much.

“Yeah, I think they’re two of many. There’s a lot of young players now around the Premier League that are coming in. But I mean, obviously Archie is an English player coming from Leeds and Lucas coming from Sweden.

But I mean, to work with them two players, I think people always ask what’s the biggest difference. And for me, it’s always the mindset, it’s always the belief and obviously the ability is one thing, but the attitude has to be spot on every day. And you look at them two and you’re always in the gym, always doing the extras, whether it’s training, you have to pull them off the training ground.

And I think looking at both of them two last season, playing 50-odd games each and winning Europa League in the first season of Premier League football, it’s an amazing start for them and hopefully they continue to progress”

Nick Montgomery shares Archie Gray’s best position

Montgomery continued to speak about Gray, making a claim about his best position on the pitch.

Gray has been used as a defender for both Tottenham and Leeds throughout his career, but according to Montgomery, his best position is in the midfield.

“Yeah, I think Archie’s always been a midfielder, but I think his problem is he’s such an honest player that he will play in any position, he will play anywhere to play in the team,” Montgomery said.

“Obviously coming from Leeds when he came, obviously he played a lot at full back, sort of running inside as a midfielder. And obviously at Tottenham as well, he played at centre back quite a lot this season because we had so many injuries.

“So to think most of the season, big part of the season Archie was playing left centre back, he’s right footed, he’s playing left centre back in the Premier League against the best players in the world.

“And he’s a midfielder coming in in his first season, but he just got on with it. Like I said, his attitude was amazing and to see him progress and work with him.”

Gray is now working under a new coaching team with Thomas Frank, and it will be interesting to see how the £40m youngster is utilised at Spurs going forwards.
