Spurs have secured the future of highly-rated youngster Mikey Moore, who has signed his first professional contract with the club.
The Tottenham Hotspur academy has produced many top talents throughout the club’s history.
Whether it be the iconic Ledley King or the legendary Harry Kane, Spurs have a long list of successful academy graduates.
The latest name who is looking to join that esteemed list of players is current Tottenham sensation Mikey Moore.
Still just 16-years-old, Moore caught the attention of the wider footballing world following his dazzling displays at the Under-17 Euros, scoring four goals as England reached the quarter-finals.
The hype surrounding the teenager has only continued to grow recently following his impressive performances during Tottenham’s pre-season campaign – catching the headlines by scoring the winner against Vissel Kobe, in a 3-2 win.

Ange Postecoglou’s ‘super exciting’ Mikey Moore verdict
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has not been afraid to praise the highly-rated youngster, recently describing Moore as ‘fantastic’ following his 88th-minute winner vs Vissel Kobe.
“Mikey has been fantastic since we brought him in.”
“He’s earned his spot on the roster at the moment, he did at the end of last year. He got a run with the first team because we could see in training that he was handling himself really well and that’s followed through into pre-season training.
“All we can do is keep allowing him to develop. We have to remember that last year he had some injuries and he is only 16, but yeah, super exciting.”
The departure of Bryan Gil and the struggles of Manor Solomon may present Moore with the perfect opportunity to pick up more minutes this coming season as Spurs fight on multiple fronts.
Likely to be included in Tottenham’s Europa League squad, fans will be eagerly waiting to see the Spurs sensation in action.
