CRYSTAL PALACE are after Leeds\u2019 brilliant teen midfielder Archie Gray.<\/p>\n
The Eagles have been tracking Gray, 17, for some time and his first-team breakthrough has put them on red alert.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Gray is seen as an alternative to Blackburn\u2019s Adam Wharton, 19, who may be too pricey for Palace.<\/p>\n
Leeds may have to cash in on Gray if they do not win promotion and Palace plan to swoop first.<\/p>\n
Everton are also tracking Wharton in case they come into money. Toffees tried swap deals in summer but will need cash to make Rovers sell.<\/p>\n
Gray has made eight appearances for Leeds this season in the Championship.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Manager Daniel Farke has hailed Gray's progress this season and previously picked him out for praise for his performance against Millwall.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cThere is no guarantee but he has fulfilled all my expectations during the season so far.<\/p>\n
"Obviously, it was a big challenge, the big ask for a 17-year-old guy because I know how impressive The Den can be but I have to say how he handled it was top class."<\/p>\n
Palace are in need of some more creativity in the team having been unable to break down Fulham in their goalless draw.<\/p>\n
