Tottenham survival could spell bad news for Mikey Moore as Rangers return imminent
Tottenham Hotspur can move within touching distance of survival with a win against Leeds on Monday night, though that could come at a cost for Mikey Moore.
For the first and last time in a long time, Tottenham fans will have celebrated an Arsenal goal like never before, given the impact it had on their chances of survival.
With West Ham having lost, it means that Spurs can move four points clear of relegation with a win over Leeds, who had their safety confirmed as a result.
For far too many reasons to include in a single story, Tottenham need to cement their spot in the Premier League ahead of the final games.
However, if they do, Moore’s return to North London could be short-lived.

Mikey Moore’s Tottenham future examined
Moore has had a rather productive loan spell at Rangers this season, with a total of 10 goal involvements across all competitions.
He scored in their latest defeat to Celtic, though he could not change their fortunes as their title hopes were ended on the day.
| Scottish Premiership | Moore |
| Starts | 23 |
| Goals | 7 |
| Assists | 2 |
| xG | 4.72 |
| xA | 3.60 |
The teen has created 36 chances in the Scottish Premiership, with seven of them having been deemed as big chances, placing him among the top 16.4 per cent of wingers in the division.
On top of that, only 7.5 per cent of wingers have completed more dribbles than Moore, with the 18-year-old averaging 2.08 per game.
But given his performances this season, he will want guarantees over gametime, and if Tottenham stay in the Premier League, he is unlikely to get those reassurances here.
What could be next for Moore?
Spurs could look to loan him out again next season, and if it were to be in their hands, that is likely the choice they would make.
This time, a move to a team just promoted to the Premier League, or one chasing promotion, could prove to be the best route.
It would give Moore the chance to showcase his worth at a more superior standard, while Spurs would still hold the cards over his long-term future.
With that said, if a permanent suitor were to come to the table, the teen may look to jump at the chance to really progress his career.
