Tottenham Hotspur are set to make a decision on winger Mikey Moore as their interest in Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze intensifies.
He became the youngest English goal scorer in major European competition history when he netted his first goal for the club against Elfsborg in January.
The Europa League presented opportunities to Moore to get crucial playing time, but with the club in the Champions League next season, chances could be limited for the youngster.
Championship clubs could offer Moore loan move
As exclusively revealed by Football Insider, Championship clubs Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion are both interested in signing the winger on loan.
That would present Moore with regular playing time and the opportunity to develop in one of the most competitive league’s in the world.

Moore would link up with former Spurs player and coach Ryan Mason should he choose the Baggies over Blues, which could also be beneficial to his development.
New Spurs boss Thomas Frank is also looking at signing a new winger this summer with Eze high on his list of targets.
After the sacking of Ange Postecoglou split the fanbase, Frank needs to make a positive start, which too could limit any opportunities for Moore.
However, any move for Moore could also depend on what decision Frank takes on Son Heung-min, with the pair set for crunch transfer talks.
Frank needs Eze, but Moore is Spurs’ future
Eze has been lined up as Spurs’ latest attacking option after Bryan Mbeumo and Antoine Semenyo were also linked with a move to North London.
The 26-year-old reportedly has a £68m release clause in his contract which Spurs could activate.
Having helped Crystal Palace win their first major trophy in their history, and after five seasons at the club, Eze may want a fresh challenge.
The signing of Eze would signal the start of the Frank era in style, with his close control and dribbling ability bringing extra flair to Spurs’ attack.
Those attributes will also help Spurs break down defences and add another dimension to their forward play.
He produced excellent numbers in a side which didn’t win their first Premier League match of the season until late October and finished 12th in the table.
Eze’s flexibility to operate on the wing or in midfield would also benefit Frank tactically depending on the opposition.
Whilst Moore can play a part in Spurs’ future, Frank requires a player right now who can quickly hit the ground running.
