Jayden Bogle ‘in line for England call-up before Archie Gray’ after Leeds reveal
Jayden Bogle’s first season at Leeds United has helped the Elland Road faithful forget all about the sale of Archie Gray last summer.
Bogle signed for Leeds from Sheffield United for £5million in July and has established himself as one of the first names on Daniel Farke’s team sheet this term, with United sitting top of the Championship.
With 30 league starts from a possible 32, and four goals under his belt in the white shirt while providing a constant attacking threat, it’s fair to say Bogle has provided much more than Gray did from right-back in an attacking sense.
The 24-year-old’s individual effort in Leeds’ 2-0 win at Coventry underlined just how integral Bogle is to Leeds’ promotion push, and even higher honours than the Premier League could be in store.
Jayden Bogle listed for England call after Leeds United form
Not only has Bogle proven himself to be arguably the Championship’s best right-back, he’s now been touted for a shock call-up by England, and is seen as more likely to earn one than Gray at present.

Although Bogle is joined in the CIES Football observatory’s 10-player list by two other Championship players – Sam McCallum and Jobe Bellingham – he’s ahead of the pair in the pecking order.
England have had almost too many right-backs to choose from in recent years, but with Kieran Trippier’s international retirement, Kyle Walker aging, Reece James injury-prone and Trent Alexander-Arnold being seen as more of a central-midfielder, a spot could well open up.
