Premier League champions Liverpool are reportedly considering a move for Archie Gray if Tottenham Hotspur suffer relegation this season.
Relegation would likely trigger a major squad overhaul, and according to the Daily Mail, Gray is among the players attracting strong interest.
Both Liverpool and Bayern Munich are said to be monitoring the 20-year-old, with potential moves expected if Spurs drop to the Championship.
Tottenham are in danger of suffering their first relegation in 49 years after a disastrous run of form that has seen them fail to win a single Premier League game in 2026.
Sunday’s defeat to Sunderland extended their winless streak to 14 league matches, leaving Roberto De Zerbi’s side 18th in the table – two points from safety with six games remaining.
Gray and Lucas Bergvall both started De Zerbi’s first match in charge against Sunderland last weekend. Gray was withdrawn in the 62nd minute, shortly after Nordi Mukiele scored the winner for the Black Cats.
Gray joined Tottenham from Leeds United in the summer of 2024 and has been one of the few bright spots in a difficult campaign. Although he has now made 79 appearances for the club, they have come across a variety of positions.
This season alone, the 20-year-old Englishman has featured at right-back, centre-back, left-back and on the right side of midfield. He has also played in his preferred central midfield role, as well as in a deeper position in front of the defence.
His versatility, along with his technical quality and tactical intelligence, has seen his stock rise significantly. Despite having four years left on his contract, he could be among those to seek an exit if Spurs are relegated.
He has made 33 appearances this season, scoring two goals and providing three assists. With uncertainty surrounding Alexis Mac Allister’s future, Gray could represent a smart long-term option for Liverpool.
Argentina midfielder Mac Allister has endured his most difficult season in a Liverpool shirt, with his current contract set to run until 2027.
Tottenham are, however, in a strong position to sign Andy Robertson on a free transfer when his Liverpool contract expires. Spurs had explored a move for the 32-year-old in January as they looked to add experience and leadership to the dressing room, but a deal failed to materialise.
Robertson is viewed as an ideal figure to help guide a new era at the club, even in the event of relegation. However, he is expected to attract interest from other Premier League sides, which could complicate any move – particularly if Tottenham drop into the Championship.
