MIKEY MOORE SIGNS FIRST PROFESSIONAL CONTRACT WITH TOTTENHAM AFTER RECEIVING RECORD-BREAKING SALARY PACKAGE, ENDING MANCHESTER UNITED'S HOPES OF A TRANSFER
Mikey Moore is poised to end all speculation about his future by signing an unprecedented three-year contract with Tottenham Hotspur, a move that will solidify his long-term commitment to the club. This landmark deal not only reflects his burgeoning talent but also underscores Tottenham's determination to keep him in north London. According to reports from The Athletic, Spurs are offering Moore a salary that surpasses what they have previously given to any player reaching the age of 17, highlighting their high regard for his potential.
Moore’s new contract, which will be his first professional agreement, is set to be finalized on Sunday, coinciding with his 17th birthday. This significant milestone follows an impressive end to last season, where Moore made headlines by becoming Tottenham's youngest-ever Premier League player during their 2-0 defeat to Manchester City on May 14. His rapid ascent has continued through the pre-season, where he has been a central figure in manager Ange Postecoglou's plans.
Moore's exceptional performances have not gone unnoticed, with both Manchester City and Manchester United previously considering moves for the young talent. Postecoglou has been effusive in his praise of Moore, especially following a recent friendly against Vissel Kobe. "Mikey has been fantastic since we brought him in,” Postecoglou commented. “He earned his spot on the roster at the end of last year, and his performance in pre-season training has only reinforced his place in the team. He got a run with the first team because we saw he was handling himself exceptionally well, and that has continued into our pre-season work."
Despite dealing with some injuries over the past year and still being only 16, Moore has been a standout performer. His impressive form was on full display at the Under-17 European Championship this summer, where he scored four goals before England was eliminated in the quarter-finals.
Looking ahead, Moore is expected to play an increasingly significant role for Tottenham this season. Postecoglou has made it clear just how highly he values the young player, and there is a strong possibility that Moore could feature prominently in Spurs’ season-opener against Leicester City on August 19. With his new contract and continued development, Moore is set to be a key figure in Tottenham's future ambitions.
