Why Tottenham have agreed to loan Mikey Moore this season as Rangers advance

A new report has shed light on the details of Mikey Moore’s loan move to Rangers and why the Tottenham winger chose to join the Scottish Premiership side after receiving numerous offers.

According to various sources, Thomas Frank has reluctantly agreed to let Moore go out on loan after the teenager expressed a desire to play regular football next season.

It had emerged over the last week that several Champions League clubs are interested in loaning Moore, but it appears that the 17-year-old has now decided on his next destination.

Over recent days, Rangers had emerged as the clear frontrunners to land Moore, and the Tottenham man is now expected to be on his way to Ibrox for the season.

Will Rangers have an option to buy Mikey Moore from Tottenham?

Sky Sports have now revealed on their live transfer blog that Moore is now expected to complete a loan switch to the Glasgow giants.

However, they confirm that Rangers will not have an option or an obligation to buy the attacking midfielder, who is very much part of Tottenham Hotspur’s long-term plans.

The outlet says that Spurs and the player both believe that a season of regular first-team football would aid his development.

The Tottenham academy graduate rejected several offers from the Championship to move to the Scottish club.

Will this change Spurs’ summer transfer objectives?

While Moore would have likely got some game time if he had stayed, there is no doubt that a full season of first-team football would be ideal for his long-term development.

Thomas Frank will be hoping that the youngster returns next summer ready to challenge for a place in his starting eleven.

It will be interesting to see if Moore’s departure tempts Tottenham to enter the market for another wide option, especially considering that Heung-min Son is now edging closer to a move to LAFC.
