Tottenham to see sharp turn for Mikey Moore after huge Rangers developments
Mikey Moore has endured a difficult few weeks away from Tottenham while on loan at Rangers.
Moore established himself in North London under Ange Postecoglou, going on to lift the UEFA Europa League with Tottenham in his first full season with the senior team.
Tottenham then loaned Moore to Rangers as part of his development plan, with hopes of him growing in both performance and experience.
However, it has been difficult for the left winger to adapt to the demands of the Scottish Premiership under such unique circumstances.
Russell Martin sacked at Rangers
Moore has had a disappointing start to his season at Ibrox, failing to score in the league for his temporary club.
- Moore has played 231 minutes in five starts in the Premiership
- He has yet to register a big chance in the league
- Only 36 per cent of his dribbles have been successful
Tottenham were no doubt attentive to Russell Martin’s potential departure from Rangers and its implications for Moore.
Plans to sack Martin accelerated after the Gers’ 1-1 draw to Falkirk, which Moore started, with Rangers confirming the decision on 5 October.
This could be the saving grace for Moore to get back on track at Ibrox, with Rangers already hunting alternatives for their future coach.
Adapting to a new league, teammates, and club is difficult for even the best of players. Now doing all of that at 18 years old in a struggling side is near impossible.
The energetic winger has been deprived of consistency, decent minutes and workable tactics during his short time in the Premiership.
With the Gers eighth in the Scottish Premiership, there is no doubt their senior figures will be looking to appoint someone capable of clawing their way back to the top.
As a result, Tottenham fans can expect Moore’s loan move to take a sharp turn for the better now that Martin has been dismissed.
Tottenham must not make the same mistake with Mikey Moore
Tottenham have been on the receiving end of several disappointing loans for their youngsters.
Alfie Dorrington is the latest Spurs hopeful whose loan could come back to bite the Lilywhites.
Meanwhile, after difficult loan spells at Ipswich Town and Oxford United, Dane Scarlett is still trying to resurrect his career in North London.
With Moore being one of Spurs’ more promising youngsters, the Lilywhites must remain attentive to the situation and be ready to pull the plug in January if needed.
