Tottenham are reportedly extremely confident of keeping teenage talent Mikey Moore beyond his 17th birthday, with Chelsea keen.
According to Daily Mirror, Tottenham still have work to do in their efforts to keep hold of teenage talent Mikey Moore but remain extremely confident of retaining him. The 16-year-old has been the subject of massive interest from Premier League rivals like Chelsea, as well as clubs from abroad such as Borussia Dortmund.
Tottenham confident of Mikey Moore deal
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has planned to use some of their academy stars more frequently in the upcoming season, with Mikey Moore’s name at the very top of that list. The 16-year-old has been in impressive form for the youth sides, with Spurs confident of keeping him beyond his 17th birthday, which falls on August 11.
Moore wants to stay at Tottenham, which has given the club and their coaching staff a massive boost, as they view the 16-year-old as a big player for the future. While they cannot sign him up on professional terms just yet, they are growing in confidence about a stay despite the widespread interest from some important clubs around.
The Manchester clubs are vying for his signature, with Manchester City earlier being considered as overwhelming favourites to do so. Yet, Tottenham are set to sign Mikey Moore up on professional terms going forward, and it is only a matter of days before they do so, as Moore himself wants to remain here for the foreseeable future.
Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund are keen on Moore
While Tottenham are confident, the club chiefs are aware of the dangers of letting a player like the 16-year-old slip through their hands. Chelsea are reportedly the latest club to register an interest in Mikey Moore, and with that, the Blues might have held talks in the background with the teenager’s camp about a possible switch to Stamford Bridge.
The Blues are keen on recruiting some of the best young talents from around and may not miss an opportunity such as this one to sign Moore. For Tottenham, losing the 16-year-old to their city rivals will be seen as a bitter blow, although in this case, the movement might not happen.
Borussia Dortmund also held an interest, and among every other suitor, they posed the biggest threat to Tottenham’s chances. German sides are allowed to offer 16-year-old’s professional terms, and Dortmund’s impressive track record in developing English talent might have given the player some thinking to do, although Spurs are set to win that particular battle as things stand.
