Tottenham Hotspur have made quite a name for themselves in recent years with regards to turning talented prospects into stars.
Harry Kane is obviously the poster boy in terms of Spurs academy graduates, while the likes of Oliver Skipp and Harry Winks have also had solid careers.
Tottenham have also struck gold in the youth market in recent years, signing the likes of Pape Matar Sarr, Destiny Udogie, Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray.
Now, ahead of the 2024/25 campaign kicking off, another top talent who has come through the Spurs ranks will be hoping to make an impact at the club.
The player in question is Mikey Moore, who has made a real name for himself at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the past couple of years.
At just 17 years of age, Moore has effectively outgrown the Under-18s setup already, with 16 goals and nine assists from just 14 U18 outings last term.
He has featured prominently under Ange Postecoglou in pre-season, suggesting he may be in the first-team picture in the league and cups this term.
Harry Redknapp has now had his say on the prospect of Moore featuring in competitive senior football.

Admittedly, the prospect of a 17-year-old playing in the Premier League may seem like a baptism of fire.
However, Redknapp believes that, if Moore is good enough, and his coaches and peers deem him good enough, then he should get a chance.
The former Tottenham manager mentioned Lamine Yamal as a recent example of a youngster playing at senior level, while Wayne Rooney and Joe Cole did so around 20 years ago.
“The kid who played for Spain in the European Championship final (Lamine Yamal) was only 16,” Redknapp told football.london.
“We’ve had Wayne Rooney and Joe Cole, they all came in the team around that age. If he’s as good as everyone thinks he is, hopefully we will see him in the first team this year.”

Moore has been so impressive that the likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Chelsea have been linked with the player in the past.
However, he now looks set to commit his future at Tottenham, which is fantastic news. And over the coming months, there’s a good chance he’ll feature competitively for Spurs.
Maybe the Premier League will have a new breakout star from N17 this season.
