Former Rangers loanee Mikey Moore looks set to once again be farmed out by Tottenham Hotspur for the upcoming season having reportedly agreed personal terms with Bundesliga side FC Koln.

After a successful loan spell at Ibrox last season, the 18-year old winger returned to his parent club in June. Rangers had maintained an interest in Moore, however a transfer pursuit for a permanent deal was always going to be ambitious given his value to the Premier League club.

Having now agreed personal terms with Koln, the ball is now in Spurs’ court to give the loan move the go-ahead. The Englishman has been a regular feature for new boss Roberto De Zerbi in pre-season and travelled with the squad to New Zealand for their summer tour.

Moore set for next chapter in Bundesliga

According to the Press Association, Moore himself has ‘chosen’ Koln as his next destination amid strong loan interest from the German outfit. Spurs are yet to give the move the green light, but are expected to do so in the near future. Once given the all-clear, Moore will travel to Germany to complete the move.

Fellow Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund as well as EFL Championship outfit Middlesbrough had also expressed in Moore. Former Rangers boss Danny Rohl was a huge admirer of his last season and said he’d do ‘everything’ in his power to sign him, however he left for RB Salzburg in June. New Light Blues boss Derek McInnes is looking elsewhere for wingers, having signed Japanese wide man Daisuke Yokota earlier this week.

Moore won the SPFL Premiership’s Young Player of the Year award last season after scoring six goals and two assists. While his attacking numbers were fairly modest, his direct dribbling ability and tricky wing play earned him fan favourite status among the Ibrox faithful. He also notable was on target in both away fixtures to Old Firm rivals Celtic.

Moore on Premier League ambition

The winger has made no secret that his ultimate ambition is to play regular football in the Premier League. While the Koln move won’t immediately fulfil this, a chance to gain experience in one of Europe’s top five league can only be a step in the right direction.

After a friendly last month against Millwall, he said: “To compete in the Premier League - where I want to play football, you need to be physically right. You need to be as good as all the other boys in the league because it's such a physically demanding league. It's something I've had to work hard on over the summer but I'm feeling good in myself and need to show technically as well that I'm at a good level.”

He also reflected on his time at Ibrox. He added: “I absolutely loved every second of my time there. I think I've come back a better player and a better person with the experiences I had. Now I need to try and bring that here because it's another massive club. Throughout the pre-season, whatever chance I get, I just want to show that I've come back a better player and physically a better person.”

Former Rangers loanee Mikey Moore could be on his way to German side FC Koln, as they enter ‘advanced talks’ with Tottenham Hotspur over their winger.

After a successful short-term spell at Ibrox last season, the 18-year old had been linked with a move back to Ibrox this summer. Previous boss Danny Rohl had claimed he’d do ‘everything’ in his power to facilitate Moore’s return, however with clubs now ahead of Rangers in negotiations, another move is becoming increasingly unlikely. The England youth international bagged eight goals and three assists during his 46 Rangers appearances last season.

Moore is currently in Australia with Tottenham after manager Roberto De Zerbi selected him in his 36-man squad for their Oceania pre-season tour. He’s featured for Spurs in several pre-season matches so far, but transfer speculations continues to leave his future in North London uncertain. He is under contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium until June 2030.

FC Koln pursue Rangers target

According to prominent transfer guru Fabrizio Romano: “FC Köln send official bid to sign Mikey Moore on loan from Tottenham! Negotiations at advanced stages with THFC as deal could be completed next week with Moore open to the move. Several clubs keen but Köln now clear favourites.”

Moore has made no secret that his eventual ambition is to play in the Premier League. Before his move to Ibrox, he had already notched 12 appearances in the English top flight before his 18th birthday and was also part of the Spurs squad that won the Europa League under former Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou. While a move to Koln wouldn’t necessarily align with his plans, regular football in one of Europe’s top five leagues can only aid his development.

Having given him a chance in pre-season, De Zerbi was keen to see what Moore could do, but with the club also targeting multiple wingers in the transfer market, there may be little room left for the teenager. After flirting with relegation last season, Spurs are going all-out for the upcoming campaign, having already spent upwards of £230m.

Moore on PL ambitions

Speaking to his current club after their 1-0 friendly win over MK Dons last month, the winger said the Premier League is where he wants to be. In a post-match interview, he claimed: “I think I've tried my best to come back in the best possible way I can to make a good account of myself. Now it's just about trying to show a good 45 minutes. Obviously, I’ll need try and get some minutes again going forward and I need to show what I can do.

“To compete in the Premier League - where I want to play football, you need to be physically right. You need to be as good as all the other boys in the league because it's such a physically demanding league. It's something I've had to work hard on over the summer but I'm feeling good in myself and need to show technically as well that I'm at a good level.”

Success of last season’s loanee should ignite ambitions at Ibrox

Rangers should push the boat out this season with a marquee addition, as club legend Mark Hateley believes enlisting another Mikey Moore would send out a transfer statement of intent from the 49ers.

The 18-year old was a breath of fresh air in Govan in a struggling Rangers side during his loan spell from Tottenham. Rangers have been exploring a permanent move for the winger, however Moore’s future potential makes him an ambitious target. Despite this, Hateley believes the club should sign another player of his pedigree, whether it’s a permanent transfer or another loan deal.

£6m former Hull City goalkeeper Ivor Pandur remains Rangers’ most expensive addition of the summer so far. With the help of the financial backing from Chairman Andrew Cavenagh and the 49ers Enterprise, they’ve added seven new players to their squad with new several faces to be expected between now and Deadline Day. Across the city, Celtic broke their incoming transfer record with the £11m signing of striker Kasper Hogh from Bodo Glimt.

Hateley says Gers should push the boat out

When asked if the club's hierarchy would commit to spending big on one specific player this summer if the opportunity came up, Hateley responded: "Absolutely. You need that because it's just like whether you get a spend or you bring in the loan. It's like Mikey Moore last year. Mikey Moore was incredible.

“He settled in, found his position, and he just grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck. That sort of player, you know, just 18, coming in, showing the weight of the shirt didn't matter to him. He was ready to go with it. That's still rumbling on in the background, whether he'll be coming back, or not.”

Transfer target Vaclav Cerny would fit the bill of a marquee signing. The former loanee is currently plying his trade at Besiktas where he’s on high wages, but Rangers remain interested in securing a deal. The Czech winger scored 18 goals and registered nine assists during the 2024/25 at Ibrox while on loan from Wolfsburg.

Hateley on Rangers rebuild

After a disappointing third place finish last season, a squad overhaul was always likely in Govan irrespective of the manager. However new boss Derek McInnes has created an identity within the squad, which consists of a Scottish core with leaders all over the pitch. Hateley acknowledges that it’ll take time for the new look Rangers team to gel, but is happy with the direction they’re going.

“But as I say, we're in the really, really early phases of trying to build something. You know, and as a classic saying says, Rome was not built in a day. There's no truer words. As I say, we're going back now 10, 15 years and the slide of where we want to be has been pretty clear to me. We need to pick ourselves up now, dust ourselves off and build properly for the future."

Tottenham could come calling for the in-demand Celtic star this transfer window.

Tottenham could add a Celtic star to their busy summer transfer drive, it’s been claimed.

The Premier League side have signed Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali in midfield already this summer but reports have suggested Arne Engels is on their radar. Nottingham Forest have also had strong interest in the Belgian international who Serie A side Roma are also believed to be keen on.

A Celtic exit seems likely for Engels and transfer journalist Pete O’Rourke senses it will be difficult for them to keep one of their top assets. A Premier League move would attract for the star signed from Augsburg almost two years ago and Tottenham are a possibly surprising avenue he could pursue.

Where could Arne Engels go to this summer transfer window?

O’Rourke told The Transfer Insider Podcast: "It's going to be hard for Celtic to keep hold of him this summer, despite rejecting an offer for him in January. Obviously, they've got more time to plan ahead in this summer transfer window. I'm sure Engels himself would be interested in the move away if a move to the Premier League comes up.

“For Tottenham, again, their interest has come as a surprise maybe in some respects. They've bolstered their midfield already with Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes. So whether they see Engels joining that as well remains to be seen, but they are showing no signs of slowing down in the transfer market."

Paul Lambert has fears over the Hoops squad and has warned his ex-side that they are not good enough to compete this term if it remains in its current state or players like Engels exit without sufficient replacements. Celtic drew 1-1 with Middlesbrough in a friendly on Saturday as the former midfielder raised concerns on Sportsound of recruitment done so far with just forward Camilo Duran arriving.

Paul Lambert on Celtic transfer recruitment

He said: "If you don't spend, you stand still. That's always the key. You have to improve. Listen, I've seen Celtic – they're nowhere near good enough at this moment in time, nowhere near it. "I think everybody recognises it and knows it. You get [Daizen] Maeda, who turned up for about six games last season, so that's not enough over a season, it's not enough. You need people to do it consistently over the course of a season.

“Because they want a move, you get six or seven games out of them at the end of the season – it doesn't work, you have to get guys that do it over a long period of time. The problem they've got at the minute is, the squad was very limited last season – they won't get away with that again. The manager knows it... They need ready-made players. And the infrastructure has got to be so important for them to do that.But they need ready-made players that know how to win football matches because you won't get away with it, not this time. The squad's not strong enough, you can see that."

Celtic midfielder Arne Engels is ‘high’ on Tottenham Hotspur’s list of transfer targets among others as Nottingham Forest table a ‘formal offer’.

The 22-year old was the subject of multiple rejected bids from Nottingham Forest in January, with the highest reaching £25m. The Reds interest has continued into the summer as well as fellow Premier League side Crystal Palace. In recent weeks, Spurs and Fulham have joined the list of English clubs after Engels. European giants Roma, Atletico Madrid and Villareal have also been linked.

With so many potential suitors for the Belgian, O’Neill is well aware that the club will find it hard keeping him in the building. In a recent interview at their warm weather training camp in Spain he explained that Forest were too late with their offers in January, which all came towards the tail end of the window.

Spurs join race for Engels as Forest table offer

According to Belgian media outlet Voetbalkrant, The Reds have reportedly now tabled a first ‘formal offer’ which Celtic will have plenty of time to mull over. After midfielder Elliot Anderson transferred to Man City for £120m, new manager Oliver Glasner now has plenty of financial resources at his disposal to pursue Engels.

The same report claims: “The 22-year-old Engels is highly regarded in England following the top season he played with Scottish club Celtic Glasgow. At Forest, who are pushing hard for him, he could become the replacement for Elliot Anderson. Tottenham, Fulham, AS Roma and Atlético Madrid , among others, also have Arne Engels high on their list. AS Roma is reportedly planning to place a bid for the player, while Villarreal has even emerged as an additional contender. As a result, the number of teams showing interest in Engels has long since exceeded one hand.”

The Lilywhites have had a busy summer already under new boss Roberto De Zerbi, having already signed Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes and Jan Paul van Hecke for a combined total of over £230m. They also enlisted former Hoops transfer target Andy Robertson on a free from Liverpool.

O’Neill resigned to Engels exit

The rumoured fee of £25m plus Celtic are asking for Engels would be the highest ever fee for an outgoing Hoops transfer. Since signing from Augsburg in 2024 the midfielder has at times struggled with consistency, but proved his worth towards the title race run-in last season, when he helped Celtic secure the domestic double with important goals against Hearts in the Premiership decider and against Dunfermline Athletic in the Scottish Cup.

O’Neill has always been an admirer of Engels, which is part of the reason the Forest bids were rejected earlier this year. However now he has no such hope that he’ll stay. He told The Scottish Sun: “I would imagine so, yeah. At this minute I don’t think anything has happened.

“Where it carries on up towards the end of the window then suddenly something happens you’re not ready because it’s happening too late. All those bids Nottingham Forest made came in on the 11th hour so that was just a non-goer for us at that particular stage. Then he got injured just after that. So if some things can happen a bit earlier then maybe there’s some resignation on my part there too.”

A Celtic transfer target has opted for a record-breaking summer move as he leaves Premier League side Tottenham.

Alfie Devine impressed on loan at Preston North End in the English Championship last season but a permanent option to buy deadline passed the Deepdale side by. That had Celtic and Championship side Wolves, alongside second tier outfit Southampton, waiting to pounce on a deal.

It’s been confirmed by Preston that a record-breaking £6m deal has been agreed but transfer journalist Alan Nixon has revealed how close the likes of Celtic and Wolves came to signing Devine from Tottenham amid his lucrative contract. He claimed via Patreon: “Preston North End have won the race for Tottenham talent Alfie Devine - at the second attempt.

Why did Celtic and Wolves not sign Alfie Devine?

“The midfield schemer has decided to join North End in a record deal worth up to £6 million after weeks of talks. Preston had a scare when Devine did not sign before the initial deadline and Celtic, Wolves and Southampton took an interest. However North were always willing to pay Spurs the asking price and also backed it up with a long and lucrative contract. Devine starred in a season on loan and has accepted the challenge to make the move despite the other possibilities.”

Devine said of the move: “From the end of last season going into the summer, it was always a priority in terms of where I wanted to be. It took its time, but I'm delighted it's gone through. From the first minute I came here until my last minute of last season, I absolutely loved it. The fans, staff, players, everyone around the place made me feel so welcome.”

Preston boss Paul Heckingbottom commented: “I’m really pleased to get it over the line. A lot of people have worked hard at it, and Alfie made no secret of the fact that he enjoyed his time here and wanted to play here. We think that it's good business, not only in the short term and helping us get results on the pitch, but it's also really good business for the football club as well.”

Why have Preston signed Alfie Devine?

Preston North End CEO Peter Ridsdale explained: “I would like to go on record to thank The Hemmings' family for the unbelievable financial commitment in allowing us to get this deal over the line, in addition to the investment in the new hybrid Deso pitch at Deepdale. I would also like to thank Tottenham Hotspur for the way in which they have handled this transfer. It has been a pleasure working with everyone connected with Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.”

Tottenham’s statement added: “We have reached agreement with Preston North End for the transfer of Alfie Devine. The Championship side have triggered the option to buy the attacking midfielder after his successful loan spell at Deepdale last season. Alfie made 48 appearances for the Lilywhites, scoring eight goals and was named the club's Young Player of the Year. Alfie departs with his name etched in our record books - he remains our youngest first team goalscorer after netting on his debut against Marine in the FA Cup aged 16 years and 163 days in January, 2021.”

A number of clubs on the continent have expressed an interest

Rangers will have to fend off European heavyweights Borussia Dortmund if they’re to pursue Tottenham winger Mikey Moore in the transfer window.

The 18-year old impressed at Ibrox last season during his loan spell, registering 10 goal contributions in 47 appearances. His performances were recognised by PFA Scotland as he won the Young Player of the Year award for the season. Moore returned to north London at the end of May, however Rangers reportedly haven’t given up hope of signing him permanently, however new Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi would prefer to loan him out again.

Dortmund are looking to get back on track after their fifth successive trophy-less campaign last season. The German giants wanted to sign Moore before he signed his first professional contract with Spurs and have been keeping tabs on him ever since. Bundesliga rivals FC Koln have also expressed an interest, along with Dutch Eredivisie champions PSV Eindhoven.

Rangers face stiff competition for transfer target

According to Football Insider: “Borussia Dortmund are among three clubs interested in a loan move for Tottenham Hotspur Mikey Moore this summer. The German giants, who wanted to sign the 18-year-old before he committed to professional terms with Spurs, remain keen on him, while FC Koln are monitoring his situation. PSV Eindhoven are also interested in a move for the winger, but want to add an option to buy into the deal.”

It’s already been a busy transfer window for the Lilywhites, who narrowly escaped relegation from the Premier League last season after an underwhelming campaign. They’ve already spent over £230m on Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes and Jan Paul Van Hecke this summer and have also enlisted Scotland captain Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi and Martin Dubravka on free transfers.

What’s next for Mikey Moore?

While none of Spurs’ new additions so far are wingers, Moore still has Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert to contend with if he’s to fight for his place in the starting XI, as well as returning injured Swedish international Dejan Kulusevski who proved to be a huge miss for them last season. It is perhaps for this reason that De Zerbi is happy to farm him out another year.

New Rangers boss Derek McInnes has been busy in the transfer window during his first fortnight in charge, but is also yet to sign any wingers. The Light Blues currently have Djeidi Gassama, Oliver Antman, Findlay Curtis and Ross McCausland on their books going into next season. Former boss Danny Rohl claimed he was going to do everything in his power to re-sign Moore, but it’s yet to be discovered whether the new gaffer shares this opinion.

The Tottenham player has transfer interest from Celtic and clubs in England.

Celtic have received a boost in pursuit of a Tottenham player after his option to buy at an English Championship team expired.

Alfie Devine shone on loan for Preston North End last season and it has attracted several suitors. Southampton are amongst the latest to join the line according to transfer journalist Alan Nixon after Preston failed to hit their deadline to sign Devine permanently following the conclusion of his loan.

That has opened the doors to others swooping in and Celtic are reportedly one of the teams involved. Both Preston and Southampton are also interested in Crystal Palace midfielder Justin Devenny but that would include both of them moving across funds they would send to Tottenham to sign playmaker Devine on a permanent basis.

Who wants to sign Alfie Devine from Tottenham this summer transfer window?

Nixon states via Patreon: “Southampton and Preston have joined the chase for Crystal Palace midfielder Justin Devenny. Saints are looking at Devenny as a possible arrival as Shea Charles nears a departure. Ironically Southampton are one of the clubs keen on Alfie Devine, who missed a deadline to sign for Preston after a season on loan from Spurs.

“Meanwhile Preston are checking. They will not want to plunge all of the cash allocated for Devine on Devenny but they are keen and would prefer a loan.”

Heckingbottom said of his Tottenham loanee earlier this month: “He's someone who can have big impact to a team. He gets the game, he's tactically good, he's bright. He might not talk to anyone until they talk to him about football; then he's engaged.

What level of interest do Celtic have in Alfie Devine?

“He's a football fan, he understands it... from a coach's point of view it's good. He's willing to do the work without the ball. He's learning more about himself and he's managed himself, in games, to stay integrated - it can't just be when you're on the ball. So yeah, I think he's made big improvements and I think he'll improve again.”

Transfer journalist Pete O’Rourke said this month on the Transfer Insider Podcast: "Alfie Devine is a player that Celtic have been tracking for a while. Martin O'Neill and his coaching staff have made regular scouting trips to watch Devine in action for Preston last season. He's a very good young player, he's gone back to Tottenham now and it does look like Tottenham would be open to letting him leave on a permanent basis for the right offer.

"Martin O'Neill will be hoping to get backing from the Celtic board to strengthen the squad because they've had a slow start to the market so far. If there's opportunity to sign Devine, it's something that he would hope the club would go forward with because he ticks a lot of boxes for Celtic. He's still only 21, player with huge potential for development as well. And it's an area of the team that Celtic are definitely going to have to add to in the summer."

Tottenham and Motherwell players are being eyed by Celtic this summer transfer window.

Celtic reportedly have their eyes on two playmakers - including one at Tottenham.

Motherwell’s Elijah Just is a player boss Martin O’Neill has his eye on for that role at the Premiership champions after a breakthrough Fir Park campaign was followed up by three goals for New Zealand at this summer’s World Cup. Another is Tottenham player Alfie Devine.

He has spent the last year on loan at Preston North End who have an option to keep him at Championship level. That’s not yet gone through though and that has paved a possible path for Celtic to enter direct negotiations with Premier League side Tottenham over a fresh set of terms. Motherwell’s holding midfielder, Elliot Watt, is another liked by the Hoops.

What Tottenham player could Celtic sign this summer?

Celtic Shorts state: “Celtic are poised to ramp up their interest in Motherwell midfielder Elijah Just after the New Zealand international impressed at the World Cup. Just has been on Celtic’s radar since his first season at Fir Park, where he quickly established himself as one of the Premiership’s best attacking midfielders. Following his World Cup exploits, Celtic are now expected to step up their efforts to land the midfielder, although they face competition from clubs in Ligue 1 and the English Championship. The Scottish champions are also keeping an eye on developments surrounding Motherwell midfielder Elliot Watt.

“Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Alfie Devine continues to be monitored by Celtic as they assess midfield reinforcements. O’Neill, Mark Fotheringham and Shaun Maloney were among those in attendance earlier this year to watch Preston North End’s Championship clash with Queens Park Rangers, where Devine featured during his loan spell.

“The Championship side must trigger their purchase option before tonight’s deadline. The agreed clause is understood to be worth £4.5 million, potentially rising to £6 million through add-ons. If Preston do not complete the deal, Celtic would have to negotiate a fresh transfer fee directly with Tottenham.”

What has Elijah Just said about a transfer this summer?

Speaking of a possible move this summer, Motherwell’s Just said: “In terms of transfer in the window, I guess that’s my agent’s job. I hope he is busy at the moment. I will speak to him and in football you never know. I will just stay focused and keep trying to get better. The World Cup has given me added belief and also motivation to keep pushing.

“There was a point in my career, one or two years ago, where I wasn’t quite sure what level I was going to be. I was a little bit stuck and maybe plateaued a little bit, so now you have a little bit of a new energy and new belief. I definitely want to test myself see how far I can go. It’s something that everybody wants to do. Coming here gave me a taste of playing against top, top players. So we’ll see what happens.”

Premier League outfit still to make final call on attacker’s future after proving a revelation at Ibrox last season

Rangers have discovered that last season’s loan starlet Mikey Moore could be primed for another temporary move away from Tottenham Hotspur - but the North London club will NOT sell their homegrown talent this summer.

Spurs maintained their status as an English Premier league club by the skin of their teeth last term after finishing one place and two points clear of the relegation zone. It promises to be a mammoth summer of change on the squad front as new boss Roberto Di Zerbi looks to fund a major rebuild.

And the likelihood of 19-year-old Moore being granted his opportunity to impress over the course of pre-season and catch the Italian’s eye remains high coming off an impressive season-long loan spell in Glasgow.

While a final decision on Moore’s future remains up in the air, new Ibrox boss Derek McInnes has been informed that the Englishman could become available for another loan transfer following his rise to prominence under departed head coach Danny Rohl.

Moore intimated towards the end of the campaign that he would be open to extending his stay at Rangers, albeit mystery surrounded his status at Tottenham while the club were under threat of relegation from the top-flight.

However, it now appears Spurs academy graduate could head back out in search of more game time away from his boyhood team, with club insider and Sky Sports presenter Michael Bridge revealing the attacker won't be sold and insists De Zerbi should allow him another chance to continue his development in familiar surroundings.

Speaking on the Last Word On Spurs podcast, Bridge stated: “You’re not going to sell Mikey Moore. I’d like him to go back on loan.”

Moore: Decision on future ‘not in my hands’

Moore stated he loved his time at Rangers but will not be rushed into making a decision on his future. He said: “But if it is right for me to come back here next year or if it’s right for me to go somewhere else, whatever’s right for my career, that’s how it will play out.

“But honestly, we’ll have to see in the summer. I’m completely honest with everyone about the way my future is.

“I’ve enjoyed every second of my time here, but for the decision on my future, it’s not completely done. Honestly, it’s not in my hands. I’ll speak to people in the summer. For me, they’ve left me so far, but I’ll speak to people in the summer. And if it’s right for me.”
