New Tottenham signing Archie Gray has revealed that he's a huge Celtic fan.

The 18-year-old has joined Ange Postecoglou at Spurs from Leeds United, signing a six-year deal.

A player plus cash deal was this morning finalised between the clubs, with Joe Rodon heading to Elland Road as well as around £30m.

Postecoglou is looking to make improvements to his squad ahead of a better tilt at his second season in charge of the Premier League team.

And it's fair to say that working with the Australian played a major role in Gray's decision to join the north London outfit, especially given he's a boyhood Celtic fan.

The teenager spoke to Spurs' media team in a video for the club's social media channels, as he explained his decision to sign for Tottenham and how much he's looking forward to the chance to step up to England's top flight from the Championship.

He said: "I'm not going to lie to you, I'm a massive Celtic fan, so I love him!

"My whole family loves him. I've never really said this, to be fair."

Gray's great-uncle is Scottish-born Eddie Gray, who is a Leeds legend.
