Tyler Adams says Archie Gray is a ‘star in the making’ after he shone brightly during Leeds United’s 2-2 draw against Cardiff City in the Championship on Sunday at Elland Road.
Daniel Farke handed the 17-year-old his Leeds United debut and he lived up to his legendary surname and showcased to the world why there is a lot of hype around him.
Watching on from the sidelines was Tyler Adams, who is still currently injured, and he wrote on his Instagram story his congratulations to Archie Gray.
It wasn’t the start Leeds wanted, or Farke had planned given that it was his first game in charge because his side were 2-0 down inside the first half.
Those defensive frailties were there to see again, surprise, surprise, the same old faces from last season were starting again.
But the Whites fought back during the second period, including Crysencio Summerville scoring a 95th-minute equaliser, and whilst that was dramatic, it was the young teen that caught the eye, with Adams writing the following message on his IG story.
“Star in the making,” wrote Adams. “Congrats little bro.”
Will Adams play alongside Gray?
The USMNT captain is currently injured and trying to return to action with the new season already underway.
But will the Leeds fans get to see Adams in their shirt again? There is a lot of talk about his future, with many Premier League teams sniffing around.
If he stays put, then both Adams and Gray could form quite the partnership in the middle of the park and the Leeds academy product will also have a brilliant leader to look up to.
