'Set for medical': Ornstein says £35m player reportedly wanted by Arsenal and Spurs now set for London rivals instead

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are likely to be busy on the transfer front in the coming weeks as they look to strengthen their respective squads.
The Gunners have improved with each passing season that Mikel Arteta has been at the helm, and they’ll be desperate to finally win the Premier League title next term.

Meanwhile, Spurs enjoyed a decent campaign in Ange Postecoglou’s maiden season in charge, finishing fifth and qualifying for the Europa League.

However, Tottenham were in the Champions League qualification picture for most of the campaign, so they’ll want to make sure they can last the distance next time.

Both Arsenal and Spurs have been linked with some of the top talents around, such as Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze.

Now, another mutual target for the Gunners and the Lilywhites appears to have let both north London teams down, instead opting for a switch to west London.

Arsenal and Tottenham target Archie Gray set for Brentford medical
The player in question is Leeds United’s Archie Gray, one of the most exciting talents in English football.

The Daily Mail recently reported that Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea were all set to battle it out to sign Gray this summer.

However, David Ornstein’s latest report seems to have put an end to what may well have been a summer-long transfer saga.

Ornstein shared the exclusive update on X, with a link to his article in The Athletic.

He revealed that Gray is now set for a medical at Brentford after agreeing terms to join from Leeds.
