London, Aug 12 (IANS) English club Tottenham Hotspur have signed teenage midfielder Mikey Moore in his first professional deal on Monday. Having joined Tottenham as a seven-year-old, the attacking midfielder, who turned 17 on Sunday, progressed through club ranks and featured regularly for our Under-18s in 2022/23 while still a schoolboy, helping them secure the Under-17 and Under-18 Premier League Cup double.
In addition, in April 2023, aged 15, he became the youngest player to appear for the club’s Under-21s in the Premier League 2.
Last term, he enjoyed another impressive campaign with the Under-18s before making his first team debut against Manchester City in May, coming off the bench to become the club’s youngest-ever player to feature in a Premier League fixture at the age of 16 years, nine months and three days.
To date, he has made two competitive first-team appearances in Tottenham colours and netted his first senior goal in the pre-season friendly against Hearts last month.
On the international stage, Mikey has represented England at Under-15, Under-16 and Under-17 levels to date.
Head coach Ange Postecoglou said last week, “It’s fair to say it’s incredible that he’s turning 17. We brought him into the first-team environment at the back end of last year. Every time he’s played for the under-18s or under-21s, he’s had an impact.
“For a very young guy, he adjusted really quickly (to the first team). He’s come back pre-season and done really well in the games and training. It’s great for this football club that he’s come through our academy and is already showing great promise. But he’s a young man. Our role is to have the best possible environment for him to be the best footballer he can be.”
