Mikey Moore is over the moon after scoring his first senior Tottenham goal, with the teenager handed yet more minutes in the pre-season fixture against Hearts.
16-year-old Mikey Moore was handed his senior debut by Ange Postecoglou last season, becoming the club’s youngest-ever player, and he will be looking to kick on this summer.
Reports had already indicated that Moore scored in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Cambridge United last week, but he repeated the trick on camera against Hearts (Football London).
After being slid through by a Lucas Bergvall pass, Moore collected the ball effortlessly and dribbled past a Hearts defender to work half a yard for the finish, which was just as clinical as the build-up.
Alasdair Gold recently revealed that Moore will likely get even more minutes than people expect this season under Postecoglou, which is an exciting prospect, to say the least.
The journalist said on the Gold and Guest Talk Tottenham podcast: “I keep getting told that he’s going to get more minutes than we actually expect this season, which is great”.
Moore himself has now taken to social media to react to his first senior Spurs goal. He wrote: “To score my first goal, even though it was in a pre-season game, was probably the best feeling I’ve had so far, and to score in front of the fans as well… it was unreal!
“The little dribble and finish… It’s what I’ve been doing in the academy so I just wanted to keep doing what I’ve been doing. Even though it was a pre-season game, it meant everything to me.”
Spurs Web Opinion:
I have a feeling this boy is going to make headlines this season at Tottenham.
It’s rare that you see someone look so comfortable in the first-team set-up at such a young age. It looks as though the pressure fuels him, rather than holding him back. I want to see him get lots of minutes this year.
