Tottenham Hotspur may face a battle to keep hold of one of their prized assets in the academy.

Spurs certainly aren’t short of talented prospects at the moment and Ange Postecoglou has proven he’s ready to place his faith in youngsters.

Both Destiny Udogie and Pape Matar Sarr played key roles in the first-team last season while a couple of academy prospects made their debuts.

Jamie Donley was handed minutes on three occasions in the Premier League while also making an appearance in the FA Cup.

Mikey Moore became the next Spurs academy product to make his debut on the penultimate day of the season against Manchester before earning more minutes at Sheffield United.

Arguably the most exciting prospect at Spurs right now, Moore dazzled in the U18 Premier League last season as he registered 22 goal involvements in 12 games.

The 16-year-old’s form for Tottenham U18s certainly hasn’t gone unnoticed, with Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund all keeping tabs on Moore.

HITC has shared the latest on Moore’s future amid interest from a host of European giants. 

The outlet claims that sources at Spurs have no concerns over the possibility of losing Moore this summer.

The winger’s camp have had contact with European clubs but the player believes he would be better off staying at Hotspur Way.

That’s down to a belief from the youngster and his camp that he wants to continue his development under Postecoglou.

Moore set for first-team role next season

HITC also state that Moore is set for a more prominent role in the first-team at Spurs next season as Tottenham have no plans to loan the talented English teenager out. 

With the likes of Bryan Gil and Manor Solomon facing uncertain futures at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, it would be refreshing to see Moore earn more minutes.

Lauded as an ‘outstanding’ talent by Postecoglou, it’s evident that Moore is set for a bright future in football and it’s been some time since we’ve seen a prospect rise through the ranks to make a huge impact in the game. 

Moore is certainly capable of doing just that and Tottenham’s return to Europa League football could provide an ideal platform for the youngster to showcase his talent.
