A move to Scottish Premiership side Rangers is reportedly the most likely for Tottenham Hotspur youngster Mikey Moore this summer, despite interest from elsewhere.
As reported by football.london , the 17-year-old is keen to go out on loan this season to ensure that he gets regular first team football. Last season saw him make 19 first team appearances for Spurs with him scoring his first senior goal in the 3-0 Europa League group stage win over Elfsborg.
However, the competition in wide areas at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could see him struggle for regular game time in the upcoming season. Spurs have Mathys Tel, Son Heung-min, Wilson Odobert, Richarlison, Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevsli, Manor Solomon and Mohammed Kudus who are all able to play on the wings.
The Telegraph’s Matt Law now reports that Scotish giants Rangers are favourites to sign the teenager on a loan deal this summer. There is said to be a lot of interest in the youngster, with Championship sides also said to be keeping an eye on the situation, but a move north of the boarder currently looks the most likely.
Moore played 45 minutes of the pre-season game against League One side Reading earlier this month. He was back in the starting XI on Saturday when Spurs took on Luton Town at Kenilworth Road, he played 77 minutes before being replaced by Callum Oluesi.
The final decision over Moore’s short-term future will lie with new head coach Thomas Frank. But it seems that he has been granted permission to seek a temporary move away.
The youngster is one of three players omitted from the pre-season squad for the tour of Asia to ‘explore opportunities’ over loan moves away from the club.
