18 year old ranked as top prospect in Championship
Goal.com's annual NXGN list was released this week, with Leeds United star Archie Gray included in the rundown of the world's 50 best wonderkids.
Every year, Goal rank the top talents born after 1st January 2005, with footballing prodigies such as Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, Kylian Mbappe and Gavi featuring in previous editions.
2024's rankings see Barcelona's Lamine Yamal, Real Madrid's Endrick and PSG's Warren Zaire-Emery top the list, but in at 43, Archie Gray is seen as the Championship's top wonderkid, sat between Borussia Dortmund's Julien Duranville and Real Betis' Assane Diao.
Along with his inclusion, Goal.com said: "Most football-mad families are fortunate if just one member of their clan makes it as a professional player, but for Archie Gray, playing for Leeds United is just part of the family business.
"Gray’s father, grandfather and great-uncle all represented the Whites - but there is a real chance that the 18-year-old could surpass them all with his achievements."
Gray has been virtually ever present for Leeds this season, playing 41 times for Daniel Farke's side, after making his debut in the season opener against Cardiff.
Recently turned 18, Gray also made his debut for England's U21s, scoring within five minutes of coming on as a substitute, in the 5-1 win over Azerbaijan.
