Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that academy graduate Mikey Moore has signed a new long-term contract after turning 18.
Moore, who celebrated his birthday on Friday, is considered one of the brightest graduates to come through the Tottenham academy.
The England youth international forward joined Scottish Premiership giants Rangers on a season-long loan deal earlier this summer.
Moore first broke into Tottenham’s senior squad last season under the leadership of former manager Ange Postecoglou and made an instant impression on the Australian head coach.
The Englishman kicked off his professional journey last August when he signed his first pro deal until 2027.
Months later, he wrote his name into club history by becoming Tottenham’s youngest-ever Premier League player, when he made his debut against Manchester City at 16 years and 277 days.
Tottenham have a serious talent on their hands
Moore became a familiar face in the Spurs’ first team dressing room under Postecoglou. He featured 19 times across all competitions, scoring once and providing two assists.
Illnesses threatened to disrupt his breakthrough campaign. Despite spending several weeks on the sidelines, Moore still produced some memorable moments of quality.
Moore produced a fantastic performance in October’s 1-0 win against AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League group phase.
He was hailed by James Maddison, who compared him to Neymar, while Postecoglou admitted that it would be “pretty hard to keep a lid” on his talent.
More built on that performance and was rewarded with his first goal in Tottenham colours, scoring in a 3-0 win over Elfsborg in the Europa League.
With Tottenham set to return to the Champions League for the first time since the 2022/23 season, competition for attacking places has increased.
Spurs have also bolstered their options, signing Mathys Tel on a permanent deal from Bayern Munich while Mohammed Kudus has joined from West Ham United for around £55 million.
Tottenham are also in talks to sign Savinho from Manchester City, so a loan move for Moore made sense.
He’ll get the chance to play regular first-team football in a competitive league and continue his development without pressure.
