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.

10. Thomas Frank (Spurs head coach)
"Mikey is a big talent. I'm really excited about his future here at Tottenham... for all players, but especially younger players, they need consistent first-team football into their bodies." | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
11. Charlie Eccleshare (The Athletic)
"Tottenham believe Moore could be their next big thing. His ability to carry the ball and create in the final third is exceptional for his age. Comparisons to Neymar might be premature, but you can see why they’re being made." | Getty Images
12. Alasdair Gold (Spurs Correspondent, Football.London)
"Moore’s got this effortless way of beating players. It’s not just pace – it’s the way he shifts the ball, his low centre of gravity, and his confidence to try things others wouldn’t. He’s a nightmare for full-backs." | Getty Images
