Rangers sign Tottenham Hotspur attacker Mikey Moore on season-long loan

Rangers have completed the signing of teenage attacker Mikey Moore on loan from Spurs.

The highly-rated 17-year-old, who can play either on the wing or through the middle, has agreed a season-long loan, subject to international clearance.

It’s understood that clearance may take a little longer than standard transfers because of his age and he is unlikely to be in the squad for this weekend’s Premiership opener against Motherwell.

Moore caught the eye last season as part of Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs side but new Tottenham boss Thomas Frank had said that he wanted the player to go out and gain regular first team football. He said the club was looking to “find the right option” for Moore to continue his development.

That right option has proven to be Rangers. He’s the eighth new face to arrive at Ibrox this summer since the American takeover as the club rebuilds the squad for new head coach Russell Martin.

“I’m excited to get going,” Moore told Rangers official website. “As soon as I heard Rangers were interested and wanted me to come, it was a massive opportunity for me.

“I’m excited to be here and hopefully I can show the fans and everyone what I can do.

“I’ve always loved Rangers as a club. My family have always loved them.

“I think with the new boss and the way that we play, it’s a great place to be at the minute. It was a pretty easy decision for me to come here.”

Moore has made 21 first-team appearances for the London club since making his debut at 16 in 2024, when he became the youngest ever player to play for Spurs in the English Premier League.

The attacker was part of the squad that won the Europa League last season, making five appearances in the competition and scoring his first senior goal against Swedish side Elfsborg.

He has represented England at under-15, under-16, under-17, and under-19 levels, scoring a total of 21 goals in 39 caps, including four in four games at the under-17 European championships in Greece last summer.

Martin was delighted to add Moore to his squad and said he had been impressed by what he had seen from the teenager.

“We are thrilled to bring Mikey on loan for this season,” the head coach said.

“His profile as a brave, aggressive attacking player is one that we were keen to add to the squad, and he is certainly a player who, despite his age, can make an impact on the team from day one.

“He is a player with huge potential, and it is testament to his quality that he has been entrusted by Spurs in both the Premier League and UEFA Europa League with such regularity over the last 18 months.”

Rangers sporting director Kevin Thelwell added: “It is no secret that there was significant interest from elsewhere in Mikey and we are delighted that he has chosen Rangers at this stage in his career.

“He rose to prominence with Spurs last year and it is a reflection of his temperament and quality as a player that he made an immediate impact at a senior level which demands the best.

“We are convinced that Mikey is a player who will enhance our attacking unit. He is stepping into an ambitious, demanding environment that will test him, support him, and provide the platform to deliver and fulfil his potential, to the benefit of both himself and the club.”
