Tottenham could lose Mikey Moore in the summer as Borussia Dortmund interest lingers

Tottenham Hotspur starlet Mikey Moore has made some significant waves in England this season. The 17-year-old has featured in the first-team squad regularly under Ange Postecoglou and he has already become a fan favourite at N17. There have not been a lot of positive stories about the Lilywhites this season, but it is fair to say that a few players have really come to prominence at the North London club.

Spurs are leading the Premier League charts for most minutes given to teenagers this season. This just proves that the Lilywhites are willing to give the youngsters first-team experience and aim to provide them with the right environment to grow. However, it can also be said that Ange Postecoglou has been forced to play so many youngsters due to the injury crisis in the squad.

As per Sofascore, Mikey Moore has featured in 21 games in all competitions for Spurs this season. The Englishman has managed to score one goal and provide two assists in that time for the Lilywhites. It is quite an impressive stat for a 17-year-old featuring in his professional season for the North London club. The youngster has also managed to make his mark in Europe, when he scored for Tottenham in the Europa League game against Elfsborg.

Tottenham starlet Mikey Moore linked with a move to Borussia Dortmund

Tottenham are prepared to lose some players in the summer after enduring a tough domestic campaign. The Lilywhites need to cash in on a few players to generate funds for new arrivals. This might not go down so well with the Spurs fans, but the lack of results in the Premier League has forced Daniel Levy to sell a few key players in the summer.

Spurs are now facing the prospect of losing Mikey Moore in the summer. The 17-year-old has felt frustrated with the lack of game time this season under Ange Postecoglou. Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg (via BVB Newsblog) has revealed that Borussia Dortmund is keeping tabs on the youngster and the German club wants to bring Moore to the Signal Iduna Park for next season.

However, Tottenham are not willing to let the teenage sensation go on a permanent move. The Lilywhites are open to send Mikey Moore on loan instead and it is believed that the 17-year-old will go to a Premier League club to gain maximum experience in the English top-flight. The versatile winger also signed a new contract at N17 until 2027, so it will be tough for Dortmund to crack a permanent deal for the teenager.

Mikey Moore is an exceptional talent coming through the ranks of Spurs, and fans will hope that the teenager spends his peak years at N17. His ability to weave past defenders and create chances for his teammates makes him a standout player. The 17-year-old also tends to carry the ball well in the final third of the pitch and has the ability to carve out chances in tight spaces.
