Spurs teenager Moore joins Rangers on loan

Mikey Moore has signed a season-long loan deal with Rangers.

The 17-year-old has 21 appearances for the London club and is regarded as one of English football’s brightest young talents.

The teenager said to RangersTV, “It was a huge opportunity for me once I learned that Rangers were interested and wanted me to come.”

“I think it’s a great place to be right now,” said the new boss and our play. I made the easy choice to come here.

In May 2024, Moore made his Premier League debut at the age of 16 years and 277 days. He is the youngest player to have played for Tottenham.

The England Under-19 international also became the club’s youngest player to start a Premier League game in October.

He broke Jimmy Greaves’ record as the youngest English scorer in a major European competition during the club’s Europa League-winning campaign last year, breaking the club’s record of Jimmy Greaves.

We were interested in adding him to the squad because of his brave, aggressive attacking skills, and he is undoubtedly a player who, despite his age, can impact the team right away, according to Rangers head coach Russell Martin.

Before making the temporary switch, Moore sought counsel from former Spurs and Rangers striker Jermain Defoe.

While coaching Moore for the Tottenham under-18 side at Ibrox, the former England international spent 32 goals between 2019 and 2022.

When I called him, he said, “You get an opportunity to go to Rangers,” the teenager said.

I spoke to him incredibly well and was very close to him. He only praised the club and its members.
