Tottenham Hotspur sensation Mikey Moore is reportedly under the radar of Premier League giants Manchester City and Manchester United. The 16-year-old has managed to impress the management of several clubs and is widely regarded as one of the brightest talents in the country. Amid all the hype surrounding the 2007-born, Football Insider has been told that City and United are actively pursuing the young talent and have already ‘made offers’ to sign him. Having received several professional contract offers ahead of his 17th birthday next month, the race for Moore’s signature has heated up significantly. However, the same report also suggests the youngster cannot sign a professional deal before turning 17 due to FA regulations.
It was also earlier revealed by Football Insider that Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund are also pushing hard to lure Mikey Moore away from North London. As per the outlet, the German side termed the 16-year-old as a ‘huge’ talent which led to them making a ‘massive’ offer for his signature.
Mikey Moore joined Tottenham’s academy at the age of eight. He has gradually developed himself as a regular fixture of both Under-18s and Under-21s at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. In the previous season, Moore was unstoppable as he notched 14 goals in just 12 matches for the U-18s. He also provided eight assists in those games. The 16-year-old was on the headlines again late last month after scoring four goals in as many games at the U-17 European Championships. However, Moore’s side was eventually knocked out by Italy in the quarter-finals.
Despite his tender age, Moore also made two senior appearances, to become the club’s youngest-ever player to feature in a Premier League game. His incredible form led to Ange Postecoglou putting the youngster on the bench for the final five Premier League matches. The 16-year-old made his professional debut in a 0-2 defeat to Manchester City. Spurs coach Ange Postecoglou is reportedly working keenly towards improving Moore’s involvement with the first team, such is his talent. Postecoglou is also looking to pull off every trick they have to prevent Moore from switching clubs. He has also represented England in Under-15s, Under-16s and Under-17s on the national level.
Manchester City have recently been making headlines by acquiring some promising young talents around the world. Harrison Miles is the latest to agree on a deal with the club, as they continue to pursue more talent. Whereas, Sir Jim Ratcliffe had also made it clear that Manchester United would also try to recruit young gems under his stewardship. It remains to be seen which side of Manchester will Mikey Moore choose, should he opt for a switch.
