Spurs transfer news: 'Favourites' emerge in race to sign Mikey Moore

Tottenham Hotspur prospect Mikey Moore is allegedly most likely to join a Champions League club on loan.

The 17-year-old is viewed as one of the most highly-regarded academy graduates at the North London outfit since the emergence of Harry Kane.

Despite his age, the playmaker has already racked up a total of 21 appearances and 815 minutes of football in the senior ranks.

However, despite already having a goal in the Europa League under his belt, too, it appears that his game time under Thomas Frank could be limited.

Mohammed Kudus's arrival from West Ham United will only push Moore further down the pecking order, yet it appears that a plan for the next stage of his development could be in place.

Which club could sign Mikey Moore?

As per journalist Matt Law of The Telegraph, Rangers have emerged as the favourites to sign the England Under-19 international.

The report claims that a number of Championship clubs have also been monitoring the situation and were seemingly prepared to hand Moore regular minutes.

Instead, it appears that Scottish giants Rangers are in line to acquire the services of Moore for the 2025-26 campaign.

Rangers are currently preparing for the second leg of their Champions League second qualifying round tie at Panathinaikos, holding a 2-0 advantage from the first fixture at Ibrox.

New head coach Russell Martin has already brought in seven fresh faces in an effort to progress through to the League Phase and challenge Celtic for the Scottish Premiership title.

Perfect move for Moore?

While Moore would not be someone who would start every game for Rangers, experiencing the pressure of playing for a big club can only benefit him going forward.

He has already had that at Spurs, but he could drop out of the picture in the short term if he were to remain at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this campaign.

Having failed to sign Morgan Gibbs-White for £60m, those funds will realistically be allocated to trying to sign another playmaker of a similar profile.

Spurs may insist on Moore penning fresh terms before his likely loan exit. Just two years remain on his current contract.
