Skilled young football player Moore signs extended deal with Tottenham on a long-term basis
Tottenham's Rising Star Mikey Moore Makes History and Extends Contract
Mikey Moore, the 18-year-old prodigy, has signed a long-term contract extension with Tottenham Hotspur, a testament to the club's faith in his potential 1, 4.
Moore's recent performances have been nothing short of impressive. Last season, he made 21 appearances for Tottenham in all competitions, registering one goal and two assists [4]. His promising displays in pre-season matches, including against Hearts and Vissel Kobe, caught the eye of the club's management [2].
In the Premier League and UEFA Europa League, Moore's vision, passing, dribbling, and forward play were praised. Particularly effective as a left winger, he is noted for his technical skill, acceleration, and tactical dribbling rather than outright speed [2].
One of Moore's most significant achievements came in the Europa League, where he broke Jimmy Greaves' record to become England's youngest-ever scorer in a major European competition at the age of 17 years and 172 days [5]. The previous record was set by Jimmy Greaves for the London XI against Lausanne-Sport in October 1957 [6].
Moreover, Moore became the youngest player to start a Premier League match for Tottenham since Stephen Carr in September 1993 [7]. The match where he became the youngest starter was a 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace last October [8].
However, this season, Moore is currently on loan with Rangers for the 2025-26 season, aiming to gain more first-team experience [3]. As of now, he has not yet featured for Russell Martin's Rangers since his loan move earlier this month.
