Tottenham are monitoring Mikey Moore from afar, but a managerial change at Rangers could have a direct impact on his development.
Many Tottenham Hotspur fans will be keeping a close eye on the progress of one of their most highly rated academy products, Mikey Moore.
The teenager burst onto the scene under Ange Postecoglou last season, making 19 appearances for the Lilywhites in all competitions and earning widespread praise for his composure and flair on the ball.
This campaign, Tottenham opted to send the 18-year-old out on loan, with Scottish giants Rangers securing his signature in a move that was expected to provide valuable first-team experience.
Tottenham will keep a keen eye on Mikey Moore situation
Mikey Moore’s loan spell has not been smooth, with the youngster yet to make a significant impact, registering just two assists and zero goals in eleven appearances for the Scottish side.
In the last three weeks, Moore has come off the bench twice for Rangers in eight and seven minute cameos against Livingstone and Dundee United, respectively, as well as a 61-minute run-out against Falkirk.
Fortunately, Moore left his mark on the Dundee match, jinking down the right wing and registering a lovely cut-back assist for a vital equaliser.
Rangers themselves have endured a turbulent spell of late and recently parted ways with Russell Martin, leaving uncertainty over the team’s direction. Now, the SPL side finally have a new man in charge.
Who is Danny Röhl? Moore’s new manager at Rangers
Rangers have opted for youthful exuberance over significant experience in the dugout, hiring 36-year-old Danny Röhl as their new permanent manager. To put that into perspective, Fraser Forster, who played for Spurs last season, is 37 years old.
Röhl’s only senior management experience is a two-year stint with Sheffield Wednesday, where he secured Championship survival in his first season, before climbing to 12th in his second.
For the most part, Röhl adopted a 4-2-3-1 formation or a 3-4-2-1 formation during the 2024/25 season. The former included a number 10 and two inside wingers, while the latter involved two attacking midfielders behind a striker.
Seeing as Mikey Moore can play both as a winger and an attacking midfielder, you would think the Tottenham youngster will get chances to impress over the coming weeks.
