BREAKING Tottenham confirm transfer Thomas Frank is excited about as future plan continues

Mikey Moore has left Tottenham to join Rangers on loan for the 2025/26 season, it has been confirmed. The 17-year-old will spend next year in Scotlandas he looks to build a portfolio of senior experience after making a breakthrough under Ange Postecoglou.

Speaking on Wednesday about Moore before the 1-0 win over Arsenal in Hong Kong, manager Thomas Frank said: "It is very important. Mikey is a big talent. I’m really excited about his future here at Tottenham. I think for all players but especially younger players they need consistent first-team football into their bodies. I think if we can find the right option we will do that."

Moore, who will not celebrate his 18th birthday for another 10 days, played 19 times for Spurs last season as he made the step up to adult football on a near full-time basis. He scored one goal.

The England youth international is viewed as one of the best attackers in his age group and has already played for the Under-19s. Coming through the club's academy over the past decade, he made his debut in May 2024 and has since continued to establish himself.

Moore started Frank's first friendly of the summer, getting 45 minutes of the 2-0 win over Reading in July. He was keen to get a regular source of football in order to keep developing, though, football.london understands.

With Mathys Tel joining permanently, Moore faced a tough ask to find minutes in north London. Even if Son Heung-Min is to leave, he would still be fighting against Wilson Odobert, Richarlison, Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski, and Mohammed Kudus.

Yang Min-hyeok has also been picked up as a promising young winger.Moore is thought to have pushed for a loan during recent contract talks. Rangers were far from the only interested party out there.

He will play for former Southampton coach Russell Martin in Scotland and said: “I’m excited to get going. As soon as I heard Rangers were interested and wanted me to come, it was a massive opportunity for me.

“I’m excited to be here and hopefully I can show the fans and everyone what I can do. I think with the new boss and the way that we play, it’s a great place to be at the minute. It was a pretty easy decision for me to come here.”

Martin himself added: “We are thrilled to bring Mikey on loan for this season. He is a player with huge potential, and it is testament to his quality that he has been entrusted by Spurs in both the Premier League and UEFA Europa League with such regularity over the last 18 months.”

Sporting director Kevin Thelwell said: “It is no secret that there was significant interest from elsewhere in Mikey and we are delighted that he has chosen Rangers at this stage in his career.

“He rose to prominence with Spurs last year and it is a reflection of his temperament and quality as a player that he made an immediate impact at a senior level which demands the best.

“We are convinced that Mikey is a player who will enhance our attacking unit. He is stepping into an ambitious, demanding environment that will test him, support him, and provide the platform to deliver and fulfil his potential, to the benefit of both himself and the club.”
