Tottenham academy graduate Mikey Moore could be handed an opportunity in their Europa League opener against Qarabag.
The North London club have had a mixed start to the 2024/25 season. While they have been playing an impressive brand of football, they haven’t got the desired results so far. After successive losses against Newcastle United and Arsenal in the Premier League, Spurs returned to winning ways against Brentford.
Now, they will look to build on that result when they host Qarabag in their opening Europa League fixture. Ange Postecoglou will look to mix things up and hand opportunities to a few of their young stars and according to a post from the club yesterday, Mikey Moore was left out of Tottenham’s Under-21 squad to face Exeter City on Wednesday. It seems highly likely that he could be a part of the Europa League squad now.
The 17-year-old attacking sensation is considered to be one of the best young players to have come up the ranks at Spurs. He was a part of their squad for the fixture against Bournemouth and came on for a two-minute cameo.
Missing out from the Under-21 squad suggests he will once again be a part of their first-team squad. This time around, he could have an even bigger role as Postecoglou seems to have a lot of trust in the youngster.
Given the kind of impact he has had at the youth level and the fact he can feature in multiple roles up top, the Australian manager could continue to trust in him and Moore could regularly be seen in the senior team moving ahead.
