Mikey Moore, who has incredibly already broken into Tottenham’s first-team set-up at sixteen, is receiving plenty of offers to lure him away from Spurs before he signs a professional deal at 17.
Tottenham youth academy product, Mikey Moore, has been part of Spurs’ set-up since he was eight years old and at sixteen featured off of the bench in Tottenham’s 2-0 loss at home to Manchester City, an appearance which made him the club’s youngest ever Premier League player. (Tottenham Website)
The Athletic claimed back in June of 2023 that following Moore’s unbelievable tally of three goals and four assists in ten U18 appearances, at just fifteen years old, Tottenham realised they had to tie the star down to a deal.
The club convinced Moore to commit his ‘long term future’ to Spurs by reportedly agreeing on a contract that sees him go from a scholarship deal to a professional contract as soon as he turns 17.
Despite these reports, Football Insider insist that Moore is receiving plenty of professional contract offers from elsewhere this summer.
A report back in late June claimed Borussia Dortmund had made an offer for the highly rated teenager, but new claims suggest two more clubs have also made proposals.
Football Insider released a new report on the 4th of June which claims that both Manchester United and Manchester City have made offers to Mikey Moore to join them instead as soon as he turns 17.
The report states that Tottenham are desperate to keep Moore at the club and are pulling out ‘all the stops’ in order to ensure that he remains playing in North London for the foreseeable future.
It would be seen as a huge blow should Moore move on with Ange Postecoglou believed to be very keen on the player, with desires to have him even more involved within the first team, as he was towards the latter stages of the 2023/24 season.
Spurs Web Opinion
Moore is possibly the most highly-rated youth product that Hotspur Way has churned out with a whole host of clubs reportedly interested in the teenager after he impressed playing in year groups way above his age.
That’s why The Athletic’s report last year was so celebrated, it appeared that Tottenham had ensured Moore would at least have a few years starring for the senior team after coming through the academy.
This is why Football Insider’s report is perhaps bewildering, either way though, Tottenham will be more than aware that letting such a promising talent such as Mikey Moore leave before making a first-team impact would be incredibly unpopular among excited fans.
