Rangers Near Loan Deal for Tottenham's Mikey Moore

Rangers are on the verge of finalizing a loan agreement to acquire Tottenham Hotspur forward Mikey Moore.

The 17-year-old, considered one of England's most promising football talents, has chosen to join the Scottish Premiership club to advance his career. The move hinges on a medical examination and includes an extension of Moore's contract with Tottenham, allowing him to spend the season at Ibrox.

Tottenham revealed that Moore, along with Alfie Devine and Dane Scarlett, stayed behind from the pre-season tour in Asia to explore loan opportunities, as the senior team gears up to face Arsenal in Hong Kong on Thursday.

When questioned about Moore's future, Spurs manager Thomas Frank commented on Tuesday: "It is very important for him to go on loan. Mikey is a significant talent, and I am genuinely excited about his future here at Tottenham. Consistent first-team football is crucial for all players, especially younger ones, and we will pursue the right option for him."

Moore is the youngest player to have appeared for Tottenham in the Premier League, debuting at 16 years and 277 days in May 2024. As an England Under-19 international, he also became the youngest player to start a Premier League match for the club in October. Additionally, Moore surpassed Spurs legend Jimmy Greaves' record by becoming the youngest English scorer in a major European competition during the club's successful Europa League campaign last season.

Rangers, under the new leadership of former Southampton head coach Russell Martin and the new majority ownership of 49ers Enterprises, are gearing up for the season after finishing second behind rivals Celtic last year. They are set to face Panathinaikos in the second leg of their Champions League second qualifying round on Wednesday, followed by a domestic league opener against Motherwell at Fir Park on Saturday.
