The highly rated academy product keeps shining up in Scotland while the struggling North Londoners battle completely terrifying Premier League survival fears.
Fans desperately want some good news on April 19, with Tottenham Hotspur still trapped deep inside a miserable relegation fight. Looking at the youth setup offers a genuine spark today. Former prospect Junior Nkeng just provided brilliant reflections regarding his footballing journey. The Barcelona-born winger currently represents AFC Wimbledon.
Playing for the Wombles in League One this season is huge. Building experience meant grinding through several temporary loan spells. He played for Kingstonian in the Isthmian League South Central Division. Gaining minutes representing Chelmsford City in the National League South came next before finally experiencing the Isthmian League Premier with Chatham Town.
Moving to England, Young tested him. “After Brentford, I was a trialist at Tottenham, and they eventually signed me,” Nkeng happily explained. He stayed around until 2021. “I was there for about five or six years, playing as a No. 9 and scoring loads of goals,” he told the official website.
Mikey Moore faces massive summer after chasing Scottish title glory
A mini European tournament hosted across Germany and the Czech Republic remains his favourite memory. “I forgot what season this was, but I was the top goal scorer in that competition,” the 18 year old recalled. He stated he scored against massive clubs like Bayern Munich and FC Porto.
“I was so happy, and it was the first time I felt like I’d really accomplished something,” he admitted. “Mikey Moore was in my age group during those tournaments when I was at Tottenham,” Nkeng pointed out. “He’s doing great on loan for Rangers right now.”
Nkeng still has some way to go to reach the exact level Moore operates at today. The highly rated loanee endured a really tough start initially. Critics loudly questioned whether he should start competitive matches. He flourished recently and totally rejected an early return. One former star believes he plays a massive part if the Gers eventually win the Scottish Premiership title. He must catch the watchful eye of Roberto De Zerbi over preseason training this summer.
