DEAL CONFIRMED;Talented player from Tottenham Hotspur signs a life contract with Barcelona

Mikey Moore has become a breakthrough star for Tottenham Hotspur this year and has a bright future ahead of him.

Tottenham Hotspur teenager Mikey Moore became the talk of the footballing world on Thursday evening as he dazzled in Europa League action against Ferencvaros.

The London outfit won that midweek clash against the Hungarian champions 2-1 in Budapest as Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou fielded a young side on Thursday night. Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall, both 18 years old, were named in the starting XI but it was 17-year-old Moore who put in a purring display.

Moore ‘outstanding’ in Europa League action

The winger was hailed as ‘outstanding’ by Postecoglou after the match, having played an important part in the build-up for both of his sides’ goals, as well as working a golden opportunity for Timo Werner at 1-0.

Speaking after the victory in Europe, Postecoglou said: “I thought he was outstanding. It’s brilliant for a 17-year-old to play 90 plus minutes in a European away tie.

“He just handled it superbly, I kind of knew he would and I think it’ll help his growth as a footballer once you get through a sort of experience like that. I think he’ll grow and evolve and I didn’t feel like I needed to take him off. He still looked strong at the end and was still contributing.”

Tottenham Hotspur teen compared to Euro 2024 wonderkid

The Tottenham Hotspur manager went as far as to liken Moore to Spanish talent Lamine Yamal. Also 17, the Barcelona prodigy sparkled at Euro 2024 and was named Young Player of the Tournament, as well as picking up Goal of the Tournament.

Postecoglou added: “How many 17-year-olds are playing in the Premier League? Yeah, Yamal is brilliant but it’s not a common thing.
