Borussia Dortmund interested in a loan deal for Mikey Moore

Borussia Dortmund have emerged as prominent suitors for Tottenham Hotspur’s highly rated teenage winger Mikey Moore, with the German giants interested in a loan deal.

The 18-year-old academy product has returned to North London following a highly successful stint in the Scottish Premiership with Rangers.

Despite the high hopes held by the Tottenham hierarchy—evidenced by a contract running until June 2030—manager Roberto De Zerbi cannot guarantee Moore a clear path to first-team football at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

With high-profile attacking signings planned for the summer, Spurs believe another year on loan is crucial for his development after a breakout 2025–26 campaign in Glasgow.

He registered seven goals and three assists in 33 domestic appearances for Rangers, including a memorable goal in January’s Old Firm derby win over Celtic.

His impressive displays earned him both the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year and Rangers’ Young Player of the Year awards.


Dortmund’s interest in Moore is longstanding. The Bundesliga club tracked the winger before he signed his first professional contract with Spurs on his 17th birthday, and they remain highly impressed by his technical versatility, explosive dribbling, and clinical edge.

The Signal Iduna Park has a renowned reputation for developing elite English academy talent, having launched the global careers of Jadon Sancho and Jude Bellingham.

While Rangers are eager to retain Moore for a second season and Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven are also monitoring the situation, the allure of the Bundesliga could prove decisive.

For Tottenham, sending their prized asset to a Champions League club renowned for nurturing young talent represents an ideal development pathway.

Negotiations are expected to progress in the coming weeks as De Zerbi assesses his squad during pre-season, but a loan move to Germany is quickly emerging as the preferred next step in Moore’s burgeoning career.
