Rangers learn likely fee to sign Mikey Moore permanently from Tottenham Hotspur
Rangers signed Mikey Moore on loan from Tottenham Hotspur until the end of the season in the summer transfer window.
The 18-year-old had a slow start to life at Ibrox, but has undoubtedly taken his game to the next level in recent weeks.
Moore was the star performer for Rangers as they beat Kilmarnock 5-1 in the SPFL on Wednesday night.
David Edgar shares colossal Mikey Moore permanent transfer fee
Heart and Hand podcast host David Edgar is known to have insider contacts at Ibrox and regularly provides reliable information about the club on X and other social platforms.
He claims that before Moore joined the Gers on loan, he was valued at £25million by Spurs despite only being a 17-year-old at the time.
In fact, he made his debut when he was a 16-year-old, in a 2-0 defeat for Tottenham against Manchester City, making him the club’s youngest ever Premier League player.
Ange Postecoglou used him not only in the league but also in the Europa League, and Spurs felt that it was ideal for him to spend a season out on loan to gain first-team experience.
Given how good he has been for his age and the fact that he is only going to get better, Edgar believes that it will cost Rangers or any other club between £30million and £40million to secure his services in the summer.

Even then, it is understood that the Lilywhites will be reluctant to part ways with the English attacking midfielder.
Via X, Edgar wrote: “He was rated at £25m before he came. They know what they have there.
“You’re looking at £30-40m for him and even then they wouldn’t want to sell him.
“In 5 years he’ll be an England international.”
How has Moore fared at Rangers thus far?
The 18-year-old has made 13 league starts this season and another seven appearances off the bench.
In those, he has managed to find the back of the net four times, and he has provided two assists as well.
The pick of his performances most certainly came in the win against Kilmarnock, with him scoring a goal, providing an assist and creating five chances.
Moore is understood to be building a solid understanding with left-back Jayden Meghoma.
