Tottenham fans left stunned by worrying Mikey Moore transfer rumour
Tottenham Hotspur fans are growing increasingly anxious amid fresh transfer links surrounding teenage sensation Mikey Moore, with European interest beginning to swirl around the highly-rated academy product.
Tottenham Hotspur’s academy graduate Mikey Moore has seen a fair increase in gametime this season, with the youngster getting a taste of first-team football with the Tottenham senior squad.
Mikey Moore was described as “fearless” by James Maddison following an impressive display in the Europa League against AZ Alkmaar, with the 28-year-old comparing Moore to Neymar.
The teenager, who has featured in 18 games for Spurs this season, is now attracting attention from sides in Europe, with reports stating that Borussia Dortmund are closely monitoring Mikey Moore and that contact has been made with the player’s management, although nothing is concrete at this stage.
Tottenham fans react to Mikey Moore transfer links
The report also states that for Moore, a move within the Premier League currently appears more likely. Spurs fans, well aware of the latest reports, are in disbelief that the teenager could be sold by Tottenham.
One fan said: “Assuming it is a loan because good luck trying to get him out of Tottenham otherwise.”
Another simply stated he is not for sale: “Any move for Mikey out of Spurs would be a loan. We will not be selling him!”
A supporter remained unconvinced about the club’s handling of the player, stating: “Why is a top team like Dortmund taking young British talent and developing them when teams like Spurs do not? When fit, he should be on as a sub every game. Surely then he develops, not left out of the team for months on end!”
Another replied sarcastically: “I wish them the same success obtaining players they are monitoring as we experience every window with the ones we have ‘monitored’.”
One simply commented: “No, please no ????☹️????.” Another added: “Why is it so hard for us to just play him like a regular, rotate and keep him in the squad?”
Meanwhile, one fan suggested a temporary move might suit all parties: “Good for a loan as Dortmund develops players really well.”
Ange Postecoglou explains limited Spurs gametime for Moore
While the report has stated that nothing concrete has developed between Moore and other clubs, Spurs fans are visibly frustrated about the limited gametime the teenager has had.
However, Ange Postecoglou has offered more clarity on why Mikey Moore has not started for Tottenham more regularly. He said: “We have exposed Mikey a hell of a lot more than I thought we would at the start of the year.
“He only just started playing Under-21 football last year and he had some injuries, did not play a lot. It was kind of touch-and-go at the start of the year, do we let him bed in with the 21s or give him a loan or keep him with us?
“But my thing was to let him train for a year, train with men, train in the first team environment and see how he adapts.
“At the end of that, he will still be 17 or 18 and we can make decisions, but he has played a lot more than we thought. But he is very much a part of our set-up in the first team and he is training every day.”
