Journalist Dean Jones has said that Mikey Moore has already agreed to his first professional contract with Tottenham, which is seen as a huge development by those at Hotspur Way.
Mikey Moore is approaching his birthday
Spurs will only be able to officially announce Moore’s first professional contract when he turns 17 on August 11 but there has been plenty of noises about the youngster’s future over recent months.
Just a couple of days ago, Football Insider revealed that the teenager is wanted by several big clubs across Europe, including Man Utd, Man City, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Dortmund, but the report claimed that Spurs are confident that he will commit his future to the club.
The outlet further added that Ange Postecoglou’s men had made it clear that they had no intention of sending the youngster out on loan to the EFL or the Championship ahead of the upcoming season.
Spurs have already agreed Mikey Moore contract
Jones has now claimed that Moore’s first professional contract has been finalized and that there is plenty of excitement among those who work at the club as well as among the supporters about the 16-year-old’s potential.
He said on Ranks FC Ultras Podcast about the winger: “He signed a new deal at Tottenham and I spoke to someone who has a very good grip at the club and he said ‘This is big’. The club was desperate to get Mikey Moore to commit and it won’t be long before you see him feature in the squad.
“There’s a few like this, Jamie Donley is one I was told who had first-team potential and I was told he could make a breakthrough, but Moore is the one who has really raised the eyebrows of the fanbase.”
I am sure those at Tottenham would be counting down the days until August 11 as they will be desperate to tie Moore down for the long term.
The winger would know that in Ange, he has a manager who is willing to trust young players and give them the platform to shine at the highest level.
