Mikey Moore has dubbed Tottenham's Europa League triumph and celebrations as "the best few days of my life". The Spurs wonderkid was part of the matchday squad for last week's final win against Manchester United in Bilbao as the north London club ended 17 years of hurt to finally get their hands on a trophy.
The 17-year-old may not have taken to the pitch at San Mames Stadium but it was some way to end his first full season with Ange Postecoglou's first-team squad. Moore did make two senior appearances towards the end of the 2023/24 campaign under the Australian and he added to that number with a further 19 outings this term.
He will be looking to kick on even more next season, including representing Tottenham in the Champions League. Before attention switches to next term, Moore quite clearly just wants to keep soaking in Spurs' European success.
"It's unbelievable. It's been the best few days of my life. It's been unreal," he said in an interview with SPURSPLAY after the 4-1 defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion.
"It's been an experience that is going to stay with me forever. I'm buzzing, really. It's only just hit me the last few days. But it's been the best few days I could have ever thought it would be."
Due to Moore's age, the 17-year-old has been in the youth changing room all season because he's not 18 yet. As fellow youngsters Damola Ajayi, Callum Olusesi and Will Lankshear also came away with Europa League winners' medals after playing their part in Spurs' European journey, the quartet did go on to share quite a moment together after returning from Bilbao.
"I think we got back from Bilbao and we went straight to our changing room," admitted Moore. "It was just me, Damalo, Will and Cal. I think that's it, I hope I've not missed anyone.
"We were just sitting in the changing room and we just threw our medals on. We were looking at each other like...we're European champions. It was an unbelievable feeling."
Tottenham's European title has now given players the taste for more silverware success. Now that their place in next season's Champions League is secured, Moore has stated that the team will try their best to go and win UEFA's premier competition rather than just make up the numbers.
"We want more, man, we want more," he emphatically stated. "We want to win the biggest trophies possible. That's what we want. Champions League next year, we're going to try our very best to go and win it. We don't just want to be in it."
