Tottenham are closing in on a move for Leeds midfielder Archie Gray, worth between 拢30m and 拢40m, with defender Joe Rodon moving the other way.

The 18-year-old is expected to have a medical at Spurs' training ground after agreeing to a long-term deal in north London.

Spurs are expected to secure Gray from under the nose of London rivals Brentford, who had the youngster begin a medical at their training ground, only to see their bid of a similar value rejected by Leeds over payment structure and add-ons on Sunday.

The sale is believed to be enough to make Leeds compliant with profit and sustainability rules after their defeat in the Championship play-off final by Southampton cost them promotion and forced them to sell players.

The England Under-21 player, who also qualifies for Scotland, also reportedly attracted interest from Chelsea and Liverpool.

He was a near ever-present for Leeds last season, playing 52 matches in all competitions - in midfield and at right-back - and he signed a new long-term deal in January.

Wales international Rodon, 26, will join Leeds in a separate deal believed to be worth about 拢10m.

Meanwhile, Leeds defender Charlie Cresswell is set for a move to Toulouse for 拢3.8m and due to have a medical after flying to France, while Marc Roca has also been sold to Real Betis for a reported 拢4m.
