Tottenham Hotspur are in Asia, but a few squad members remained in England to try and secure loan opportunities for the upcoming season. One of these was Mikey Moore, whose representatives have moved quickly in securing him a loan to the Scottish Premiership:
This loan to Rangers was reported to be in the works just a few days ago, and in that piece I indicated this could be a good opportunity for Mikey. He’s getting to an age now that regular minutes, rather than necessarily the level of competition (provided it’s against adults), could be the best thing for his development - and this loan should provide that.
He’ll be playing in an attacking, creative side, and he will be forced to up his physical game to withstand the rigors of Scottish football. There’s also that very good chance of him playing in the Champions League!
There’s no sign of the new contract yet that has been floated - rumored to be around three years - but that’s because of limitations around the sorts of deals somebody Mikey’s age is allowed to sign. The thing is, he’s 17 until he’s 18, which is later this month - at which point we can hopefully expect the announcement of a new deal.
Good luck Mikey - all the best this season at Rangers!
