‘Mikey Moore to be delighted’ as Tottenham exit development emerges
Tottenham youngster Mikey Moore is in desperate need of regular minutes in senior football.
The 17-year-old is arguably the brightest prospect coming out of Spurs right now but has struggled to assert himself on the first team.
Ange Postecoglou has limited the England under-19 international to just seven Premier League appearances and five in the Europa League.
As a result, it will come as a huge boost to his young career that a star departure from North London has been discussed ahead of the summer transfer window.
Moore to benefit from Son Heung-min sale
The teenager is currently quite far down the pecking order in N17 with club captain Son always likely to be favoured on the left.
This is despite a generally poor season from the South Korea international which has seen him come under heavy scrutiny.
Even with that being the case, Postecoglou has continued to stand by his skipper even after scoring just one goal in his last 12 games.
It can be said that this is damaging the progress of Moore at this stage of his career but that could improve if the 32-year-old was to leave.
Discussing the forward’s potential exit, Martin Allen told Tottenham News: “It wouldn’t be a surprise if Spurs start to work out how they can move him on.”
If a summer exit was to be arranged by the Lilywhites, there is every chance that the youngster could step up into the void left by the captain.
Moore deserves Tottenham chance
There is no doubt among Spurs fans that Moore is destined to be the future of the club but needs to be given a break to be able to do so.
The sale of Son could be the ideal opportunity to allow the winger to step up and prove what he can do for the first-team.
| Competition | Appearances | Minutes | Goal involvements |
| Premier League | 7 | 181 | 1 |
| FA Cup | 2 | 113 | 0 |
| Carabao Cup | 2 | 30 | 0 |
| Europa League | 5 | 307 | 2 |
| Total | 16 | 631 | 3 |
Limited minutes in various competitions this campaign aren’t necessarily aiding his progress, especially with the likes of Wilson Odobert also ahead of him.
If the South Korean doesn’t leave in the upcoming window, it could prove to be Moore who opts to move on either on a permanent or a loan deal.
