Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, for years, has been the lion eating the young in North London, selling off players before they get a chance to become stars at the club. With Tottenham sinking to 17th in the Premier League but holding a nucleus of promising players, the fundamental way the club operates has to change, and every single supporter knows it.
Already, Tottenham have shown that there may be some positive changes at the club. They signed Lucas Bergvall to an extension that should keep the Swedish midfielder tied to the club for the foreseeable future with powerhouses like Real Madrid already circling. And Levy himself is now among those banging the table for Bayern Munich loanee Mathys Tel to remain at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium permanently.
Next up on the list is keeping Mikey Moore. The gem teenage winger was one of the more underrated bright spots in this dismal 2024/25 campaign, shining when he got a cup of coffee in the Europa League. Moore is so coveted that notorious young star snatchers Borussia Dortmund are in on him, but Spurs fans can rest easy knowing that Tottenham aren't going to let another big European club steal him away.
Tottenham can't lose a phenom to another European power
According to a report from GiveMeSport's Danny Rust and Dean Jones, Tottenham have absolutely no interest in selling Moore and consider him unsellable. Amidst the interest from Dortmund, Spurs are working to sign Moore to a contract extension that will keep him away from other club, and they are going to offer him more money as a reward to keep the 17-year-old in North London.
This is obviously great news for Tottenham fans, and it's a deal Spurs have to get done. Moore is paid peanuts and has just two years left on his deal, so if he were not signed to a new contract, he'd be an obvious risk candidate to leave somewhere else like Dortmund, which, despite their own issues this season, have been in a better situation than Tottenham.
Spurs have the selling point of Moore being a possible face of the franchise for a rise back to title contention in the Premier League, but those kinds of "moral victories" don't count as much as dollar signs. Tottenham have to back up their talk financially, and there's something to be said about taking an approach with a young player that makes them feel valued from all sides. Spurs have to make Moore feel valued and keep him at all costs; this report is a positive sign they will do that. These kinds of players should be unsellable assets to Spurs.
