Moore to Sign Three-Year Contract with Spurs, Tottenham Hotspur is set to secure the future of their talented winger Mikey Moore, who will sign a three-year contract committing him to the club. According to The Athletic, Spurs have offered Moore a substantial salary, the highest ever given to a player turning 17, to ensure he remains in north London.
The Bigger Picture
Moore’s new deal, his first professional contract, will be officially signed on Sunday when he celebrates his 17th birthday. The England youth international made headlines last season as Spurs’ youngest Premier League player during their 2-0 defeat to Manchester City on May 14. He has continued to impress as a key part of Ange Postecoglou’s plans in the pre-season, attracting interest from top clubs like Manchester City and Manchester United.
Postecoglou’s Praise
Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham’s manager, has been vocal about Moore’s potential and contributions. “Mikey has been fantastic since we brought him in,” Postecoglou said after Spurs’ friendly against Vissel Kobe. “He’s earned his spot on the roster at the moment, he did at the end of last year. He got a run with the first team because we could see in training that he was handling himself really well and that’s followed through into pre-season training.”
Postecoglou also emphasized the importance of supporting Moore’s development. “All we can do is keep allowing him to develop. We have to remember that last year he had some injuries and he is only 16, but yeah, super exciting.”
The signing of Mikey Moore to a three-year contract is a strategic move by Tottenham to retain one of their most promising young talents. With a substantial salary that underscores their commitment to his development, Spurs are looking to build a bright future with Moore at the heart of their plans. As Moore continues to impress and develop under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou, fans can look forward to witnessing his potential unfold on the pitch.
