Alasdair Gold confirms Tottenham are keen to secure long term agreement with rising star; talks underway
Tottenham are already in talks to secure the future of academy starlet Mikey Moore amid interest from European clubs
Daniel Levy has adapted the recruitment strategy of investing in highly regarded prospects over the last few years.
The Tottenham Hotspur chairman is set to stick with the transfer policy in the forthcoming summer transfer—a period that is going to be extremely vital for the North London club after a disastrous Premier League campaign. He, along with technical director Johan Lange and new head coach Thomas Frank, must also sort out the uncertain futures several players.
Cristian Romero’s future is up in the air amid interest from Atletico Madrid, while Son Heung-min could be cashed in as he enters the final year of his contract. Meanwhile, there are a few players who are due contract extensions.
Mikey Moore is one of those. Regarded as the best talent to emerge from the academy after the legendary Harry Kane, the English winger broke into the first team during this recently concluded campaign. He was the beneficiary of an injury crisis in the first half of the season that saw him get plenty of opportunities under former boss Ange Postecoglou.
However, a bad virus sidelined Mikey Moore for several months, and after recovering from it, the teenager barely got opportunities to play in the first team as the senior pros returned to action. Overall, the fearless winger scored a goal and supplied two assists in 21 games across all competitions during his breakout season at Tottenham, eight of which came as a starter.
The teenage prodigy’s displays in a Spurs shirt have not gone unnoticed, with new Juventus director Damien Comolli eyeing a move for him. However, reliable Football London journalist Alasdair Gold has given an update on Moore’s contract situation. He feels the academy starlet could be set to renew his terms again, after only signing a new contract at the club last year.
“Mikey Moore I would imagine that will be tied up this summer and we’ll see a new deal for him. When they’re 16,17 or 18 you get these new contracts that kick in anyway and I’m sure they’ll agree to one that reflects a player who has made his Premier League bow now and played 19 times last season,” Alasdair Gold said in Gold & Guest Talk Tottenham podcast.
Gold has doubled down on GIVEMESPORT correspondent Ben Jacobs’ revelation about Moore expected to stay at Tottenham and sign a new contract amid interest from European clubs. The youngster has only two years remaining on his deal, so the Hotspur Way chiefs are seemingly in a hurry to secure his future.
