A player Tottenham loaned out in the summer has just sent a clear message to Thomas Frank.
Spurs loaned out six players during the last transfer window, and one of those was winger Mikey Moore, who joined Rangers.
The 18-year-old has largely struggled since moving to Ibrox, but did score his second goal for the club on Saturday in a 3-0 win against Kilmarnock as Rangers fans chanted Moore’s name.
The exciting winger is beginning to find his feet north of the border, and he isn’t the only one who is flourishing away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Luka Vuskovic scores bicycle kick for Hamburg vs Werder Bremen
Spurs loaned centre-back Luka Vuskovic to Hamburger SV in the summer, in a bid to give the youngster regular first-team football at a club in one of Europe’s top five leagues.

So far, the teenager has had a dream few months in Germany, showcasing his talents at both ends of the pitch.
While Vuskovic won the Bundesliga Rookie Award for the second month running in November, the Croatia under-21 international has stolen the headlines in attack.
In his 11th league appearance of the season against Werder Bremen, the 18-year-old scored a wonderful bicycle kick to help Hamburg secure a thrilling 3-2 victory.
Vuskovic demonstrated his athleticism with that moment of brilliance, and ahead of his return to Tottenham in the summer, the talented defender is giving himself every chance of playing a part in Frank’s plans.
Vuskovic is an upgrade on Kevin Danso
It’s become clear that Vuskovic has a long-term future at Tottenham, and the defender starring in the Bundesliga only reinforces his talent.
At the age of 18, the Croatian is developing into a complete centre-back, capable of distributing from the back and dominating physically.
Some supporters have even called for Vuskovic to return to the Lilywhites, and as it stands, he’s currently outperforming Kevin Danso, Tottenham’s third-choice central defender after Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven.
Admittedly, Danso has only played 495 minutes in the top-flight, compared to his counterparts’ 900 minutes in the Bundesliga, but he’s still outclassed his teammate for blocks, aerials won and non-penalty goals in 2025/26.
So, with Vuskovic poised to return in the summer, Danso could find himself further down the pecking order.
