Tottenham Secures Record-Breaking Deal for Teenage Star Mikey Moore

Tottenham ‘Agree Record-Breaking Deal’ as Ange Postecoglou Gets a Boost

Tottenham Hotspur are set to strengthen their squad as the transfer window nears its end. Teenage sensation Mikey Moore, just 16, has reportedly agreed to sign a professional contract with the club later this week.

Moore, a standout during pre-season, has impressed Tottenham’s management and coach Ange Postecoglou. He made history in May as the youngest player to debut for Spurs in the Premier League, coming on as a substitute in a 2-0 loss to Manchester City. His performances during the pre-season tour of Asia have only enhanced his reputation.

According to The Athletic, Moore will sign a three-year deal on Sunday, the maximum length allowed for players under 18 due to FIFA regulations. This contract not only reflects Tottenham’s confidence in his potential but also includes a salary reportedly higher than any previously offered to a player of his age, underscoring their commitment to ward off interest from other clubs.

Moore’s pre-season form has been notable, scoring three goals against Hearts, Vissel Kobe, and a Japanese youth team. Postecoglou praised Moore’s development, stating, “Mikey has been fantastic since we brought him in. He’s earned his spot on the roster. Despite some injuries last year and his young age, his performance in training and pre-season has been impressive. It’s an exciting time for him.”

This significant deal highlights Tottenham’s trust in Moore’s abilities and their eagerness to integrate him into the first team for the 2024/25 season.
