Why Tottenham want Rangers loan for Mikey Moore over Sheffield United or Championship move
TBR Football understands that Rangers manager Russell Martin wants Mikey Moore and has held talks with Tottenham directly to convince them that Ibrox is the best place for him.
The 17-year-old has not been short of loan interest, with nearly half the Championship asking about signing him for next season.
Moore was left out of Spurs’ pre-season tour squad, which travelled to Asia to discuss a potential move away from North London.
A temporary switch to Ibrox now looks to be his most likely destination at this moment in time, with both the player and Tottenham open to the move to Rangers.
Tottenham Hotspur have appreciated what they have heard from Rangers and they are happy for Mikey Moore to join them on loan, sources have told TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey.
Russell Martin held direct talks with the North London club about the move and has convinced them to loan him one of their brightest young talents.
Sheffield United were showing the strongest interest from the Championship; however, Rangers look set to win the race.
Tottenham recently appointed Stuart Lewis, who was Moore’s coach during his time in the U-18s, and he’s been tasked with integrating academy stars into the first team.
At Spurs, Moore faces strong competition for his place in the team, with the Lilywhites well stocked in the wide areas.
Tottenham are also exploring a move for Rodrygo, as TBR Football exclusively revealed, meaning his minutes would have been rather limited next season.
Meanwhile, the Scottish giants could have Champions League football on offer next season for the teenager if they defeat Panathinaikos.
Currently, they lead the Greek side 2-0 following their win in Glasgow last Tuesday and are due to travel for the second leg on Wednesday.
TBR Football can exclusively reveal that Rodrygo Goes has indicated that he would be open to joining Tottenham Hotspur this summer.
TBR Football understands that the winger’s entourage are assessing his options, having already spoken to Arsenal and Liverpool.
