Tottenham's highly-rated young attacker Mikey Moore is poised for a loan move away from the club, with German side Koln currently leading the race for his signature. This decision comes despite the 18-year-old's promising pre-season performances under manager Roberto De Zerbi.
All parties agree that another temporary spell elsewhere would best serve the versatile forward’s development. Moore enjoyed a standout season at Rangers last term, where he netted seven goals and was crowned PFA Scotland’s Young Player of the Year.
While Championship play-off runners-up Middlesbrough had expressed interest, sources indicate Moore’s preference is a move to one of Europe’s top five leagues. Borussia Dortmund were rebuffed by Spurs after requesting an option to purchase the player. Koln have intensified their pursuit over the weekend, making them the most likely destination, with other Bundesliga clubs and teams from La Liga also making enquiries.
Moore's anticipated departure is expected to precede attacking reinforcements for Tottenham, as De Zerbi has hinted at further signings. Spurs maintain a long-standing interest in Manchester City’s Savinho, while Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo has emerged as a key target.
