The talented winger enjoyed a strong loan campaign with Rangers last term and hoped, initially, to make the comeback to North London and compete for a first-team spot.

Moore, 18, has been with the squad for pre-season and played against Auckland during their camp but head coach De Zerbi admitted at full-time that he wants to sign wide players.

That could drop Moore further down the pecking order and the Italian acknowledged that a conversation regarding the player's future is on the agenda.

Asked if Moore could be part of the Spurs group rhis season, the manager said: "We have to see.

"We have to analyse the last part of the transfer market, because we try to bring wingers, and then we speak with him, with his agent, with the club, to find the best solution for everyone."

It is an update from De Zerbi which could trigger an Ibrox alert as Rangers also seek a winger for the coming season, which kicks off next weekend.

Moore won Young Player of the Year last season and knows what it takes to play for the Light Blues.

Should they wish for another loan stint, Spurs may wish to do business again.

Spurs' latest stance on Moore loan as Rangers may have to wait

That's because Spurs manager Roberto de Zerbi wants to cast an eye over the winger during pre-season before deciding what to do with him next season.

The Premier League giants have already decided they do not want to sell the 18-year-old permanently this summer, according to Football London.

But the Italian would like to watch Moore in training before reaching a verdict on whether to keep him as part of his squad next season or send him out on loan again.

That means Rangers could be forced to wait until late in the transfer window if they would like the skilful wide man to return after his impressive showing last season, which saw him pick up a club young player of the year award as well as PFA Scotland's.

Moore scored seven and added four assists in 47 matches.

A host of other clubs are interested in loaning the young talent for next season, adding another layer of complexity to the situation.

Spurs return to training on July 10th.

Tottenham avoided relegation to the Championship, a fate that could have seen Moore afforded more opportunities going forward.

Speaking to the Press Association at an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle on Wednesday, Mr Levy said “relegation was not something we ever considered” when he was overseeing the building of the £1 billion Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2019.

Spurs are just two points clear of the drop zone, having secured just 38 points from 36 games so far this season, taking until April 25 to win a league game in 2026.

Asked how he felt about the club’s league position, he said: “Emptiness… but I’m optimistic that we will remain in the Premier League.”

He answered “never, no, not in a million years” when asked if he saw any signs that club would end up in a relegation scrap.

Despite the team’s poor showing in the league Mr Levy said he would continue attending matches, adding: “It’s in my blood.”

Mr Levy was made a CBE by the Prince of Wales for services to charity and the community in Tottenham, supporting education, health and social inclusion and creating jobs through the construction of the stadium.

“I think Tottenham fans should be proud that the club has made such a fantastic contribution to the local population,” he said.

Having been in charge of Tottenham for 24 years, Mr Levy was the Premier League’s longest-serving chairman, but he was accused by fans of prioritising the club’s business interests over delivering success on the pitch.

Mr Levy said he had hoped to win more silverware during his time in charge: “What I would have hoped for is winning the Premier League, winning the Champions League… easier said than done.”

He said he spoke about Aston Villa with William, who is a long-standing Villa fan, when he received his honour.

“I thanked him for allowing us (Tottenham) to beat Aston Villa when we played them a few weeks ago,” he said.

“He wished us luck the rest of the season, very much hoping that Tottenham survives in the Premier League.”
