Tottenham Hotspur youngster Mikey Moore has once again impressed for England’s U17s in their latest game against Spain.
The final few weeks of the 2023/24 campaign saw Mikey Moore earn himself a spot in the Tottenham squad for the final five games of the season.
Moore was only supposed to be training with Ange Postecoglou‘s side at Hotspur Way for a week, however, he impressed that much he earned himself a spot in the matchday squad.
And the youngster even earned himself his debut in the game against Manchester City before coming on against Sheffield United on the final day.
But since the end of the campaign, Moore has been away at the U17s Euros with England where he has shone.
Moore impressed so much on Monday night in the game against Spain it saw the Spanish media have their say on the exciting young talent.
Spanish media feel Tottenham have a real talent on their hands
Having scored twice in the opener against France, Moore then added another to his name in the second game against Portugal.
However, he did not stop there as he curled home a stunning effort in Monday’s game against Spain to regain England’s lead.
The youngster just cannot stop scoring having netted 16 in 16 for Spurs across all competitions, as well as providing nine assists.
A bright future could be awaiting Moore and it seems the Spanish journalists watching him on Monday night were mightily impressed with what they saw.
Having shown the Spaniards just how big of a prospect he is, the Spanish media waxed lyrical about the Tottenham academy star.
Journalist Iker Lloveras wrote for Sport on Tuesday that Moore is a “jewel” with fans being urged to “remember his name”.
“The Mikey Moore thing is starting to get very serious, and in England they are dedicated to him, aware that they have a rough diamond to polish who can be very brilliant,” he added.
“We will have to be very attentive to his progress, because he will give us a lot to talk about.”
Should Ange Postecoglou trust Mikey Moore?
A big decision is seemingly hanging over Postecoglou in how he is going to handle Moore’s progression over the coming months.
The youngster will go into the new campaign having just turned 17-years-old and having not played in the Premier League 2 yet.
Clearly, there is trust there from Postecoglou who has given him his debut, but providing him with regular football to continue his development is a totally different matter.
Uprooting the likes of James Maddison and Heung-min Son would be a huge ask which may mean a season under Wayne Burnett with the U21s may be the best next step for Moore.
Of course, this summer could still see Postecoglou hand Moore some opportunities with an expectation for the youngster to travel on the tour of Asia this pre-season.
