Tottenham agree shock exit of generational talent; Son Heung-min first official bid lodged
Tottenham are reported to have reluctantly agreed to let a generational talent leave on loan ahead of the upcoming season in somewhat of a surprising development, while the first official offer for Son Heung-min has been lodged as talk of an exit for the club legend ramps up.
Spurs have not really kicked on with their transfer business as fans would have hoped, after announcing on the same day that they had sealed the signing of Mohammed Kudus and also triggered the release clause of Morgan Gibbs-White – a matter that still remains unresolved after Nottingham Forest’s very public complaint over an alleged illegal approach.
However, there is also a major focus on potential Tottenham exits, with Son’s future very much up in the air given that he only has a year remaining on his contract.
But it’s at the other end of the age spectrum where the latest transfer news is focused, with highly-rated young winger Mikey Moore set for a loan exit.
Football Insider reports that the 17-year-old wants a temporary move to aid his development for a year, as he aims to compete for a starting role in the Premier League upon his return.
The report adds that Spurs had initially not wanted Moore to go out on loan and viewed him as a part of Thomas Frank’s squad ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
However, FI sources say there has now been a change of heart and they are prepared to grant Moore, who was labelled a ‘generational talent’ during the Under-17 Euros last year, his wish.
The winger has attracted strong interest from a number of top Championship clubs, with Birmingham City and West Brom both keen to bring him in.
Leading Dutch teams have also expressed an interest in signing the young attacker, with the Eredivisie known for being a developing ground for young players from England.
Moore enjoyed a breakthrough season under Ange Postecoglou last time out, making 19 appearances in all competitions.
But with Kudus arriving and competition for the wide spots in Frank’s side fierce, Tottenham are hoping that more regular first-team football will aid Moore’s development further.
