Tottenham Hotspur winger Mikey Moore is set to undergo a medical at Rangers within the next 48 hours, ahead of a season-long loan move to the Scottish Premiership club.
The 17-year-old - who has been described as 'outstanding' by scout Jacek Kulig - is widely considered one of the most exciting young talents to emerge from Spurs’ academy and enjoyed a genuine breakthrough season in 2024/25, making 19 senior appearances across all competitions.
His rise to first-team involvement has attracted attention from Birmingham City, West Bromwich Albion, Charlton Athletic and Coventry City, but Rangers have emerged as the preferred destination.
Spurs Had Initial Concerns Over Moore's Exit
Productive conversations resulted in U-turn being made
An agreement between Rangers and Tottenham is already in place, with Moore expected to return to north London next summer. Sources have told GIVEMESPORT that Spurs were initially hesitant to let the teenager leave, but after productive conversations involving senior staff at both clubs, all parties agreed that consistent senior football is the right next step.
Rangers manager Russell Martin and technical performance director Dan Purdy played key roles in facilitating the move. Martin has long admired Moore’s profile and sees him as someone who can contribute immediately. He also has a strong track record of developing young players, having overseen Tyler Dibling’s emergence at Southampton.
Moore made headlines in January when he scored his first senior goal for Tottenham in a 3-0 UEFA Europa League win over Swedish side Elfsborg. That result was one of many to lay the foundation for Spurs' successful continental campaign, which ended with them lifting the trophy. It was a major moment for the teenager, who impressed coaches and supporters with his composure on the European stage.
Predominantly a left-winger, Moore is also comfortable playing on the right or through the middle. He is known for his acceleration, close control and movement in the final third. Highly regarded within the England youth set-up, he has represented his country at multiple age levels and continues to be seen as a player with strong international potential.

Son Also Edging Towards Making Departure
North Londoners' captain moves closer to heading to United States
It’s the latest imminent departure from Tottenham after Ben Jacobs and Tom Bogert revealed on GMS that Los Angeles FC are advancing in talks to sign captain Son Heung-min.
In contrast to Son, who is in the final year of his contract, Moore's move to Rangers is temporary and not just about playing time. It is about exposing him to an environment where pressure, expectation and the demand for results will push his development further. An official announcement is expected later this week, pending the successful completion of the medical.
There is no option to buy included in the deal. Tottenham remain fully committed to Moore’s long-term future and view this loan as a key step in preparing him for consistent Premier League involvement. Thomas Frank and his coaching staff are tracking his progress closely and believe Moore has the potential to make a first-team impact in the near future.
The switch represents a positive step for all sides. For Moore, it is a chance to grow in a high-pressure environment. For Rangers, it is the addition of one of English football’s brightest young attacking talents. And for Tottenham, it is an investment in a player they firmly believe can play a major role in their future.
