Moore won many admirers with his exciting wing play last season, and there is a lot of excitement at Tottenham about what the teenager can accomplish next season.
Moore is expected to sign a new contract when he turns 18 in August, and he will now work under a manager who has a great record of developing attacking players.
He has already expressed his excitement about working with Thomas Frank, but there were fears that the youngster might miss the start of the season after his latest injury, with those fears having now been alleviated.
