Rangers head coach Russell Martin has confirmed his eighth new signing of the summer, with the loan capture of talented Tottenham Hotspur teenager Mikey Moore.
The 17-year-old has been dubbed as a ‘wonderkid’, with a number of former managers, teammates and academy coaches hailing his as one of Britain’s most exciting young talents.
The starlet, who turns 18 next month, played under ex-Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou last season, scoring his first senior goal in a 3-0 win over Elfsborg on the way to his team's Europa League success.
Officially the youngest player to play for Spurs in the English Premier League, he made his league debut against Manchester City in May 2024 at the age of 16 years and 277 days, and has excited Spurs fans with his enormous potential ever since. But what can he bring to Rangers during his season-long stay on loan?
Here, The Scotsman looks through 12 of the best quotes from former managers, coach and his current Spurs teammates about Rangers’ exciting new signing.
1. Ange Postecoglou (his former manager at Spurs)
"His ability to just deal with pressure and keep the ball in really tight areas and make really good clean decisions for such a young boy. It's not easy out there when defenders fly in. Mikey has been fantastic since we brought him in. He’s earned his spot on the roster at the moment — he did at the end of last year." | AFP via Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
2. Ledley King (Spurs legend)
"Mikey’s got all the attributes to be a top, top player. His balance, his ability to go either way, and his composure in front of goal – it’s exciting to see someone so young with that much quality." | Getty Images
3. Son Heung-min (Spurs captain)
"Mikey is coming to me and asking questions... He's a fantastic boy and then I am definitely sure that he can be a fantastic player. There is no doubt, because he has such amazing quality.” | AFP via Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
4. Alan Hutton (Former Rangers and Spurs full-back)
"Mikey Moore is a special talent. His pace and directness are exactly what Rangers need. He’s got that ability to unlock defences, and at 17, he’s already showing he can handle senior football. He’s a real coup for Rangers." | AFP via Getty Images
