In Tottenham’s recent Europa League clash, 17-year-old Mikey Moore showcased his burgeoning talent, playing a crucial role in their victory over AZ Alkmaar on Thursday. Moore’s performance, marked by his relentless attacks against the opposition defense, has generated excitement among fans and caught the attention of a Spurs icon.
Former Tottenham star Glenn Hoddle shared his admiration for the young forward in a discussion with TNT Sports, underscoring the significance of a homegrown player making strides in the first team. Speaking to BBC Sport, Hoddle remarked on how Moore’s rise resonates with the club’s supporters, emphasizing the pride fans feel when a player climbs the ranks from academy to first-team.
“Every club, they love a homegrown, don’t they?” Hoddle said. “They love to see someone come through the ranks, make it into the first team, and the fans will get behind him, week in and week out.”
Hoddle predicted that Moore would soon become a regular topic of conversation among fans, saying, “They’ll be talking about him in the pubs and the bars now. It will be about Mikey Moore.”
With Hoddle’s endorsement and the support of Spurs fans, Moore’s future looks promising as he continues to develop in North London.
