Tottenham Hotspur has secured the future of one of its brightest young talents, Mikey Moore, with a new long-term contract. The announcement signals the club's faith in the 18-year-old winger, who is currently gaining valuable experience on loan at Scottish Premiership side, Rangers.
Moore celebrated his 18th birthday and put pen to paper on the deal. Last season, he featured in 21 matches for Spurs across all competitions, showcasing his potential with one goal and two assists. His debut Premier League start against Crystal Palace saw him become the youngest player to achieve this feat for Tottenham since Stephen Carr in 1993.
Adding to his achievements, Moore etched his name in the history books by becoming England's youngest-ever scorer in a major European competition. His goal against Elfsborg in the Europa League broke a record previously held by Jimmy Greaves since 1957. This underlines the immense promise that Moore holds for the future.
Despite his young age, Moore has already represented England at the Under-19 level, earning nine caps. His current loan spell at Rangers aims to provide him with consistent first-team football and further his development. However, Moore is yet to feature for Russell Martin's team since joining earlier this month.
Tottenham fans will be eagerly anticipating Moore's return from his loan spell, hoping that he will continue his upward trajectory and become a key player for the club in the years to come. This new contract demonstrates Tottenham's commitment to nurturing young talent and building a squad for sustained success.
