Mikey Moore is a name that sets tongues wagging among the Tottenham fanbase.

Moore has already impressed in the senior ranks at Tottenham, making 19 appearances last season under Ange Postecoglou.

Tottenham sent him on loan to Rangers this summer, so that he could gain more experience at the highest level of the game.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium supporters are right to be excited about the prospect, and he has proven that already in his time with the Scottish giants.

Moore is on the verge of history away from Tottenham

Moore took a while to get going away from Tottenham, but he seems to have found his stride in Scotland.

MORE SPURS STORIES

He has scored in his last two league matches, and if he scores against Hibernian on 15 December, he would become the first player aged 18 or younger to score in three successive Scottish top-flight appearances since Anthony Stokes.

Stokes notched four in a row for Falkirk between October and November in 2004, and the Spurs gem will hope to emulate that feat from 19 years ago.

Tottenham must give Moore an opportunity when he returns

Lilywhites supporters will be desperate to see Moore handed a chance when he returns to North London.

Thomas Frank must heed that advice, as Moore has proven that he can handle the step up to senior football.

Moore is notching a goal every 218 minutes in Scotland, per Sofascore, which is not bad for his first taste of senior football away from Spurs.

He is averaging 0.5 key passes per 90 minutes and has one assist to his name so far for the Light Blues.

The N17 academy star also records 3.3 recoveries per 90, showing that he is not afraid to track back and win the ball back, which will be a valuable asset for Frank.

He must be given an opportunity to show what he has learnt in his time away next season, and it could save the club a fortune in the market.

It could prove to be a masterstroke if he makes the step up, and stars for his boyhood club in the Premier League and beyond.
