Former Tottenham scout Bryan King has revealed some interesting insights into what the club is doing to develop Mikey Moore behind the scenes.
The 17-year-old is regarded as one of the brightest talents to emerge from the Spurs academy.
Despite his young age, Moore has made huge strides and is expected to play a significant role under Ange Postecoglou this season.
Since joining Tottenham as an under-9, Moore has consistently advanced through the ranks. He was incredible in the U18 Premier League last season, scoring 14 goals and providing 8 assists in just 12 games.
His outstanding performances earned him his first professional contract, which he signed recently.
Moore was involved in the recent win against Brentford, coming off the bench in the dying minutes to replace Dominic Solanke.
Now, Bryan King has revealed that the youngster is putting in extra work behind the scenes and could become a frequent feature in the first team this season.
He told Tottenham News:
“It was quite exciting to see Moore come on against Brentford.”
“He’s been doing extra work behind the scenes with a personal coach, working with Jamie Atkins, who is Ian Atkins’ son. Jamie runs a camp for young players called Peak Performance. He’s worked with Moore, and both Ian and Jamie tell me this kid is a big talent.”
“I think Moore has a real future in the game; he looks very confident. Players like Harry Kane, Glenn Hoddle, and Steve Perryman all broke into the team at a young age. Let’s hope Moore can follow in their footsteps.”
His appearance against Brentford could mark the beginning of more first-team opportunities, especially considering the number of fixtures Tottenham have to play.
Moore has shown that he has the potential to follow in the footsteps of players like Harry Kane, becoming the next big academy star to establish himself as a regular first-teamer.
