Leeds United and Everton are in the race for one of the biggest talents in Europe, and there has now been an update on his next club.
Leeds planning for another Premier League season with teenager set to leave
Despite going four league matches without a win, Leeds remain clear of the drop, with three points and a superior goal difference separating the Whites from Nottingham Forest and West Ham, while Tottenham are hurtling in the wrong direction.
49ers Enterprises have ambitious plans for Leeds in the coming years, and that starts with staying up, but it seems they are already beginning to put those plans in motion.
Indeed, the club are set to loan out some of their rising stars in search of more playing time this summer, hoping to build a pool of ready made young talent for the long-term future.
According to reports, Sheffield United are now plotting a move to sign Harry Gray on loan this summer and Farke is ready to sanction the move.
Why Gray needs loan move
Harry-Gray-Leeds
Farke is rightly in no rush to push Gray into the first team. The younger brother of Archie is still just 17 years old and is currently enjoying his first loan spell away from the club at Rotherham, where he has scored twice in 11 starts.
When the summer arrives, a move to Bramall Lane would suit all parties. Leeds would see their young star playing at a higher level and the Blades would have a talented goalscorer to call on.
Gray is someone who looks destined to star for Leeds, but he will need patience and a loan move to Sheffield United along the way would certainly do him no harm.

Leeds and Everton find out Belgian prodigy's fate
And with one youngster potentially on his way out, the Whites are looking to bring another in, with interest growing in Belgian teenager Nathan De Cat.
The defensive midfielder has broken into Anderlecht's first team this season, starting 26 games in the Jupiler Pro League, scoring twice and providing four assists.
Both Leeds and Everton have been monitoring the youngster, and there is a belief he will follow in the footsteps of Youri Tielemans in leaving Anderlecht to find success in England.
Journalist Filip Joos has now provided an update on his future, via Voetbalkrant, revealing that the "insane" talent will not choose Leeds or Everton, perhaps targeting a move to a club with European football on offer.
"It won't be Leeds United or Everton. What would be a good move for him and when? I don't know. Can he only handle an hour? That's the only thing that might be in doubt now, perhaps due to a certain physical ailment."
The Toffees may have the best chance of changing his mind seeing as they sit just outside the European places currently, but the update from Joos is certainly a blow for both sides.
