“Former Leeds United Star Could Have Joined Liverpool Last Summer – But He Turned Down the Move!”
Last summer’s transfer window proved to be a game-changer for Leeds United, as the club cashed in on several high-value players. This influx of funds allowed Leeds to bolster their squad, securing a £10m deal for Joe Rodon and bringing in Jayden Bogle and Largie Ramazani among other signings.
However, there’s one former Leeds star who could’ve been heading to Liverpool, but ultimately chose another path. As Leeds aims for promotion back to the Premier League under Daniel Farke, it’s clear the club’s tight-knit squad is paying off this season.

Archie Gray could’ve followed in Kalvin Phillips’ footsteps by joining Manchester City, but his decision to move to Spurs now looks like a smart one. While Phillips struggles on loan at Ipswich Town after limited game time at City, Gray is thriving at Tottenham, regularly featuring in the Premier League and gaining invaluable experience.
With Manchester City set to sell Phillips in 2025, Leeds United, who were keen to bring him back should they have earned promotion, could find themselves with an opportunity to re-sign him. Meanwhile, Gray’s decision to snub Liverpool — where younger players often languish in the academy — seems even wiser, as he continues to impress at Spurs, playing in various positions and learning from top-tier talent. The future looks bright for the 18-year-old.
