John Wenham, who regularly breaks news on Tottenham’s youth teams via his social media handle, Lilywhite Rose, has now revealed that Mikey Moore’s new contract is expected to have an option of a further two-year extension.
Moore is widely viewed as one of the best talents in his age group across the country, which is why it comes as a huge boost to Tottenham to learn that the youngster has committed his future to the club.
This information was first reported by The Athletic, who revealed on Tuesday that the winger has agreed on a three-year deal, which will be officially confirmed by Spurs when he turns 17 this Sunday.
The report revealed that the Lilywhites are paying Moore a higher wage than any 17-year-old in the club’s history.
It was also pointed out that a three-year deal is the longest deal permitted under FIFA regulations for a player who is yet to turn 18.
Wenham believes that Moore’s deal might contain a clause whereby it could be extended by another couple of years on his 18th birthday next year, thus potentially making this a five-year deal.
It remains to be seen whether that is announced by Spurs next August.

Moore would have had the option to go to any top club he wanted, given how highly he is sought after.
The fact that he committed himself to Spurs is yet another sign that the Tottenham academy starlets see a clear pathway to the first team under Ange Postecoglou.
