Football League World

Former West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Don Gooman believes that securing Mikey Moore on loan would be an "enormous coup" for Hull City.

Goodman compared the 17-year-old sensation to a fellow bright winger in Ben Doak, who lit up the Championship in the first half of last season for Middlesbrough before injury put an end to his campaign.

Moore is Tottenham Hotspur's youngest Premier League debutant, after Ange Postecoglou handed the Englishman his debut in May last year, aged 16 years and nine months.

His sporadic first-team appearances continued into this season, and he even scored in Spurs' UEFA Europa League-winning campaign.

Now, Moore is being touted for a loan move to the Championship side, and Hull City are lining up a move for him, according to an exclusive report from Football League World.

Other Championship sides are looking at the youngster too, and EFL pundit Goodman isn't surprised at all. He believes that Moore will excel no matter where he ends up next season.

Don Goodman praises Mikey Moore amidst Championship loan rumours

Speaking exclusively to FLW, current Sky Sports pundit Don Goodman said: "I'm not surprised that there are Championship clubs interested in signing Mikey Moore.

"It kind of reminds me of the Ben Doak situation at Liverpool last season when we went out on loan to Middlesbrough and, when fit, he tore the Championship apart and was outstanding."

Doak impressed whilst at the Riverside last season, scoring three and assisting seven in just 24 games for Middlesbrough.

However, thigh surgery kept him out for a prolonged period, and the 19-year-old missed the final three months of the season, as Boro slumped down the table and finished 10th.

"His injury was one of the main reasons why Middlesbrough didn't see the job through and fell off a cliff in terms of creativity and goal output," Goodman continued.

Doak arrived with plenty of promise at Middlesbrough and delivered on that in the short time he was there. Goodman puts Moore in that talent bracket, too, which is a credit to his potential.

"I see Mikey Moore very much in that mix, and it would be an enormous coup for Hull, there's no doubt about it, because there is going to be plenty of competition for him."

Hull City may have to fend off ambitious Championship duo to sign Mikey Moore on loan

Football Insider reported earlier in the month that both West Brom and Birmingham City were also interested in bringing in Moore on a loan deal.

With Birmingham and West Brom projected to be in and around the play-off picture next season, and Hull coming off the back of a disappointing season where they escaped relegation on the final day, a move to either of the other interested sides may prove to be a more attractive offer for the exciting 17-year-old.

However, Moore stands to play a bigger part in Hull's season if he makes the move there in comparison to Birmingham, at least, as the Blues have their eyes set on a reunion with Demarai Gray.

As for West Brom, they may be forced to part ways with Tom Fellows this summer, but they may also use whatever money they bring in from that deal to sign someone with more first-team experience, despite Moore's clear potential.

Kevin Danso has signed permanently for Tottenham Hotspur in a £21 million transfer from French side RC Lens, despite being a complete flop at Southampton.

Danso signed on loan for Southampton in 2019. The Austrian, Ralph Hassenhuttl, was in charge at St Mary's and recognised the potential of his 19-year-old compatriot. Danso had been playing his football for FC Augsburg in the German Bundesliga, making 44 appearances for the club.

Danso had already built a great reputation for himself by the time he arrived on the south coast. Southampton fans were keen to see him in action but Hasenhüttl had difficulty trying to shoehorn the youngster into his team. As a result, Danso played just 10 times for the Saints, which included being sent off against Manchester United and playing 45 minutes in the infamous 9-0 thrashing by Leicester City at St Mary's.

Hassenhüttl played Danso out of position at Southampton

Although centre-back was Danso's preferred position, the Southampton coach played him first at left-back and then even tried him for one match at right-back. The player spoke about the experience in an interview with the Daily Echo.

“I had never played left-back professionally, but was doing so, then three weeks later he (Hasenhuttl) decided to play me as a right-back against Bournemouth.”

Unsurprisingly, Danso returned to FC Augsberg at the end of the loan term and was quickly loaned out again, this time to Bundesliga Two outfit, Fortuna Düsseldorf. The Austrian's form picked up at Fortuna, and he helped them to a fifth-placed finish before being transferred to RC Lens in the Summer of 2021.

Danso proves to be an inspired signing for Lens

Danso proved to be an inspired signing for Lens and during the three and a half years that he spent there the Blood and Gold finished seventh, second, and seventh again under head coach Franck Haise. During this period, Danso made over 100 appearances.

It was during Danso's fourth season at Lens, after Will Still had taken the helm, that the Austrian's early potential appeared to be fulfilled.

Under Still's leadership, the 26-year-old central defender achieved two man-of-the-match performances in 12 appearances and achieved the highest set of player rankings in his career, as per whoscored.com.

Danso becomes a UEFA Europa League winner

During February 2025, Tottenham Hotspur were impressed enough to take the player on loan to North London. The 26-year-old made 10 Premier League appearances as Spurs limped to the end of a challenging domestic season and came on as a late substitute when they defeated Manchester United in the Europa League final.

As reported by BBC Sport, as per the terms of the loan agreement, Danso signed for Tottenham in a £21m permanent deal on the opening day of the transfer window.

Squad building and the transfer window is beginning to pick up as players return for pre-season training across the country, and West Bromwich Albion are among those clubs looking for something of a rebuild and rejuvenation this summer.

The Baggies have already seen the departures of some high-profile first-teamers, such as Semi Ajayi, John Swift and Grady Diangana, whilst Ryan Mason has been brought in to replace Tony Mowbray as their new manager.

Mason, who was a part of Ange Postecoglou’s UEFA Europa League-winning coaching staff last season at Tottenham Hotspur, is expected to build a youthful and exciting squad to sustain a promotion challenge in the Championship next season.

One player who should be prioritised as an incoming deal would be Spurs youngster Mikey Moore, especially if key man Tom Fellows was indeed to leave The Hawthorns this summer.

West Brom should target Neymar-compared Mikey Moore

Moore, who was likened to Neymar by teammate at Spurs, James Maddison, after his performance against AZ Alkmaar last season, looks as though he could be on the move this summer, with Football League World exclusively revealing that Hull City are interested in the 17-year-old.

With Thomas Frank now having replaced Postecoglou, who had given Moore some game time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, it would be a perfect opportunity for Championship clubs to pounce.

Moore has shown flashes of brilliance in his limited appearances for Spurs thus far and, at just 17, there is seemingly a very high ceiling for the Southwark-born attacker.

He scored his first Spurs goal last season in a victory over Elfsborg in January, but he has shown an excellent scoring touch with England at youth level, becoming a consistent threat at both U16 and U17 level, whilst also performing well at this summer’s UEFA U19 European Championships.

Goal scoring is something that the Baggies will most likely be prioritising this summer with loanees Will Lankshear and Adam Armstrong both returning to their parent clubs, as well as Swift and Diangana leaving the club.

Daryl Dike’s injury record means his future is likely up in the air and West Brom lacked goals across the park, with only Josh Maja hitting double figures and only Alex Mowatt and Karlan Grant the other players to have scored more than four goals across all competitions.

He could be a Tom Fellows replacement

Replacing Tom Fellows at The Hawthorns is likely to be more than a one-man job, with the England U21 international of such a level that he will leave a massive hole in the Albion final third.

However, with Fellows rumoured to be interesting Everton, Moore would provide a similar set of skills to Fellows in terms of his speed and directness down the wing.

Fellows provided the joint most assists in the Championship last season, alongside Josh Murphy of Portsmouth, so the gap left by his possible departure will be a big one, but Moore has certainly showed signs of being able to carry a team on his shoulders and drive them forward with an impressive exuberance and confidence, perhaps best showed in that game against AZ in October 2024.

Moore would represent a smart attacking addition, and someone who would likely benefit from linking up with someone who he has worked with before in Mason.

Hull City are set to join the race to sign Tottenham Hotspur youngster Mikey Moore this summer.

It has been exclusively revealed by FLW that the Tigers are set to compete for the forward’s temporary signature amid competition from Birmingham City and West Brom.

It was reported earlier this month by Football Insider that the Championship duo have an interest in the 17-year-old.

Moore featured 10 times in the Premier League last season, as well as making five appearances in the Europa League, but may seek a loan for more regular game time in the upcoming campaign.

Mikey Moore to Hull verdict

When asked about the club’s interest in Moore, FLW’s Hull fan pundit Cameron Gibson claimed it would be good business if they could get a deal done.

He’s highlighted the Tigers’ recent success at developing young talent, suggesting the MKM Stadium could be a good next step for the player to take in his career.

“If we were able to pull it off, I think that would be a good bit of business,” Gibson told Football League World.

“If there’s a few other Championship clubs in for him, then I think it will be quite hard for Hull City to maybe win the deal.

“But if we were able to pull it off, then I do think that’s a positive sign because we have really been a good place for players to develop in the past, whether it has been loans or our own academy.

“Players like Keane Lewis-Potter, Jacob Greaves, Jarrod Bowen and then we’ve had loan players along the way like Harry Wilson, [Fabio] Carvalho, Liam Delap, these players have gone on all to have big successes and good careers.

“So if players are going to come here from the Premier League, we are normally a good destination for them to develop.

“We have had a few failures along the way, like [Malcolm] Ebiowei from Crystal Palace, Fin Burns didn’t get too many minutes last season and there’s a few other more.

“But you’re not going to be successful with every loan.”

Mikey Moore transfer claim

Gibson believes winning the race to Moore’s signature would be a good sign for the club, but warned that they should get the deal sorted quickly or else move on to other targets.

“I think he’s got a high ceiling, and I do think he’s going to be a good player, whether that’s going to be in the Championship or potentially in the Premier League and European football,” he continued.

“At 17, and you don’t want to put pressure on him, he’s just wanting to play his football and get the ability to show what he’s got.

“But if Hull City were able to beat West Brom and Birmingham, I think that would be a really good sign for the fans and that would show that we are still a decent club.

“But if we get strung along, and it’s not going to until deadline day that he decides, then maybe it’s not the one we should go for.

“It’s really up to the club to get this done quick, and ready for the start of pre-season would be ideal.

“And I’m sure that’s what he’s looking for if he wants to have the best possible season for his development.

“If Mikey Moore was to come to Hull City, I think it would be quite interesting.”

Moore signing would be great business for Hull

Sergej Jakirovic will be looking to bolster his squad this summer, and it’s clear some added firepower is needed after the team’s relegation fight last year.

Moore is still only 17 and has a decent amount of experience for someone of that age, which shows the high esteem in which he’s held at Spurs.

A loan to receive regular minutes would make sense for his development, and Hull’s track record with young talent could sway the London outfit to push for a move to the club instead of West Brom or Birmingham.

If they could get this deal done, then it has the potential to be a very exciting signing.

Sheffield United are once again preparing for a season in the Championship after missing out on promotion in the previous campaign.

The Blades reached the play-off final after coming third in the table, but lost 2-1 to Sunderland at Wembley Stadium.

Chris Wilder’s side had 90 points to their name, but that wasn’t enough to earn a place straight back to the Premier League.

The Yorkshire outfit will now be hoping to use this summer to improve the squad and go one step further next year, as they eye a place in the top flight.

Here we look at all the latest news surrounding Sheffield United…

Tottenham Hotspur transfer setback

It was reported by The Star earlier this month that Sheffield United were interested in a double swoop for Tottenham Hotspur youngsters Alfie Devine and Ash Phillips.

However, it has since been claimed by Alan Nixon that new Spurs boss Thomas Frank is keen to keep Phillips at the club.

The defender came through the Blackburn Rovers academy system, and spent time on loan with Stoke City last season, giving him plenty of Championship experience.

But the Danish coach is now considering keeping him in the London outfit’s first team squad for next season, potentially with a view to earning first team minutes.

While he has yet to play for the Premier League side, the arrival of Frank as manager could change that next season.

Chief scout decision

Sheffield United are undergoing a lot of change behind the scenes, with Ruben Selles now in charge of the first team squad.

Wilder parted ways with the Yorkshire outfit after failing to lead the club to Premier League promotion, with the Spaniard taking his place.

But, according to Alan Nixon, chief scout Jamie Hoyland is set to stay at Bramall Lane.

This will allow some continuity in the recruitment process for Selles, who will be looking to strengthen the squad this summer for a promotion push next season.

Hoyland has plenty of history with Sheffield United, but has only been in the role of chief scout since last year.

Lewis Koumas chase

Sheffield United are reportedly interested in a move for Liverpool youngster Lewis Koumas this summer.

It has been claimed by the Daily Mail that the Baldes are keen on the 19-year-old in a bid to bolster their attacking options for next season.

The teenager spent the previous campaign on loan with Stoke City, contributing three goals and two assists from 43 appearances in the Championship.

It remains to be seen whether he will be allowed to leave on loan again, with the player potentially set to take part in Arne Slot's pre-season plans before any decision is made over his immediate future.

Chris Wilder sacking claim

Speaking exclusively to FLW, Don Goodman has branded Sheffield United’s decision to dismiss Wilder as “harsh in the extreme.”

He believes the 57-year-old won’t be out of work for long, if he wants a quick return to football, praising his time back at Bramall Lane for his second stint.

“I think the Chris Wilder sacking is harsh in the extreme, really,” said Goodman.

“I don’t think ever before, if you take the points won on the football pitch, which is 92 points, that has never ever failed to get you automatic promotion.

“So, it does feel a little bit harsh.

“I think they are probably analysing the early/mid-part of the season where Sheffield United were grinding results out but nevertheless it’s all about winning.

“Ultimately, Chris Wilder at Championship level has proven he is a winner.

“So, I don’t know whether he’ll want a break or if he’ll want to get straight back in, but I don’t expect he’ll be short of offers.”

Doncaster Rovers are in “advanced talks” to sign 19-year-old Tottenham Hotspur prospect Damola Ajayi.

The winger, who has a goal to his name in the UEFA Europa League, has attracted interest from a number of clubs in the EFL ahead of what would be his first loan spell.

However, it now looks clear that newly promoted Sky Bet League One side Doncaster will win the race for him.

Doncaster Rovers keen on Tottenham Hotspur youngster

As reported by Football Insider, Doncaster are in talks with Amola over a loan signing.

He made a nine-minute cameo for Spurs as they went on to win the Europa League. In that game, the youngster came on as a late substitute against Swedish side Elfsborg, and netted in front of the home Tottenham Hotspur Stadium crowd.

Over the course of his youth career, Amola has more than 80 appearances in the under-18s, under-19s, and under-21s teams for North London outfit.

The winger’s best goalscoring season to date came in 2023/24, where he found the back of the net 13 times in 22 appearances at under-18s level.

More recently, he scored three goals and notched one assist in 18 Premier League 2 games. That came alongside a goal in the EFL Trophy group stages, where he scored the third Spurs goal in a 3-3 draw, and penalty shootout win, over Bristol Rovers.

Ajayi has also been an unused substitute for a slew of Premier League games, including against Manchester United, but is now set to experience senior football elsewhere with Thomas Frank coming into Spurs as their new head coach.

Damola Ajayi potentially set for loan to League Two champion

Doncaster are building a strong squad ahead of their return to the third tier following a title-winning season, with former Wycombe Wanderers striker Brandon Hanlan one of Grant McCann’s fresh additions.

Experienced Huddersfield Town defender Matty Pearson, Dundee United wide-man Glenn Middleton, ex-Leeds United youngster Robbie Gotts, and loanee goalkeeper Thimothee Lo-Tutala have also joined the South Yorkshire club this summer with the calendar yet to tick into July.

If Ajayi does join Doncaster, he will add to a competitive area of the pitch for Rovers. New-man Middleton, 18-goal winger Luke Molyneux, Jordan Gibson, and returning loanee Kyle Hurst are already on the flanks.

It may be difficult for Ajayi to secure consistent gametime at Rovers, but he would surely develop under a manager who has a track record of loaning top Premier League talent.

McCann has seen loanees come into his team and build to the next stages of their career plenty of times, with Chelsea shot-stopper Teddy Sharman-Lowe a strong recent example.

Rovers finished last season with 84 points, but have not rested on their laurels when stepping into the third tier.

New Tottenham Hotspur head coach, Thomas Frank, has served Sheffield United and Stoke City a blow in their respective aims of signing Ash Phillips on loan.

That is according to a fresh report from Alan Nixon via Patreon, with the aforementioned duo named as two of "several" Championship outfits who were interested in striking a temporary deal for the highly-rated centre-back.

The Blades are adopting a new transfer strategy amid the recent appointment of Ruben Selles, with ownership group, COH Sports, putting a strong onus on the usage of AI and statistics to bolster the squad at Bramall Lane, whilst Phillips' most recent loan spell away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium came with the Potters under Steven Schumacher, Narcis Pelach and Mark Robins.

Robins is also preparing for his first full season at the Bet365 Stadium, but has been handed an early blow in his transfer aims by the Danish boss, who will need as many options as possible in North London due to Spurs' upcoming UEFA Champions League venture following their Europa League success against Manchester United last month.

Tottenham Hotspur to retain Ash Phillips amid Stoke City, Sheffield United loan interest

Despite being just 19 years of age, Phillips already boasts plenty of Championship appearances on his CV after progressing through Blackburn Rovers' academy ranks before making his first-team breakthrough in the 2022/23 season under Jon Dahl Tomasson.

After impressing during the campaign in which Rovers narrowly missed out on the play-offs, Spurs would eventually end a long-standing transfer saga by signing the defender for just £2m.

Phillips is yet to make a senior appearance for the capital side, joining Plymouth Argyle and latterly, Stoke, in two loan spells, making 39 appearances for the Potters in all competitions, with his solitary goal coming in a 3-2 defeat to Southampton in the EFL Cup.

Prior to confirmation of Selles' appointment in the Steel City, it was reported by the Sheffield Star that the Blades identified Phillips and fellow Spurs prospect, Alfie Devine, as two transfer targets, with James Bord, who plays an integral role in the club's aforementioned new strategy, a boyhood supporter of the North London side.

However, as per Nixon's fresh update, United are set to receive a blow regarding the double swoop, with Frank looking to keep Phillips in and around the first-team picture during his first season, with his verdict reportedly putting off the South Yorkshire outfit and Stoke in their respective aims of striking a loan agreement.

Ash Phillips will feel he has earned Premier League breakthrough after Championship stints

Whilst Phillips would be able to source much more regular gametime with yet another loan stint in the second tier, the England youth international will feel he has earned his chance of making a senior breakthrough at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as a result of his consistent performances.

Spurs have endured plenty of injury problems in recent times, and fellow defender Cristian Romero has been the subject of strong interest from Atlético Madrid, although Fabrizio Romano anticipates that the Argentinian will remain in N17 by the time the transfer window closes on September 1st.

However, due to the newly-adopted format in European competitions, it's no surprise that Frank sees Phillips as an option which he wants to retain, with the youngster aligning with the Champions League quota, in which eight players have to be 'homegrown' or 'club-trained'.

Furthermore, the Dane also has a strong record when it comes to developing youngsters, with plenty of his Brentford squad reaching heights which not many could have potentially foreseen, which is another reason that Frank's stance will be music to the defender's ears.

Sheffield United are eyeing a double swoop for Tottenham Hotspur youngsters Alfie Devine and Ash Phillips.

It was reported by The Star earlier this week that the pair are on the Blades’ radar as they look to improve their first team squad.

Ruben Selles is now in charge at Bramall Lane, and will be looking to strengthen the team for a promotion push next season.

Devine spent the previous campaign on loan with Belgian side Westerlo, while Phillips competed in the Championship with Stoke City, putting in impressive showings for the Potters despite their lowly finish in the table.

Sheffield United issued Tottenham Hotspur raid warning

When asked about the club’s interest in the Spurs pair, FLW’s Sheffield United fan pundit Jimmy, from the Blades Ramble YouTube Channel, claimed he’d only be interested in permanent offers for the youngsters.

He believes that they’re not good enough right now to justify a loan deal, but that they could be good long-term bets to bring into the side.

“If they had to be permanent signings, then I think it’s good business for Sheffield United,” Jimmy told Football League World.

“It shows a long-term eye on the future, it shows that we are planning for the long-term, in terms of player development.

“If we take these two lads who, in Ash Phillips’ case, has played for Plymouth and Stoke, been largely unremarkable in the Championship — I understand he’s a very young boy, still only 19 and with a lot of experience for that age at Championship — but we need a top end Championship defender if we’re going to bring him in on loan.

“And I’m not convinced that he will be a top-end Championship defender yet, and even if he does become that over the season we’re only developing Tottenham’s youth.

“Whereas if we sign him as a long-term project player, then even if he starts to come good at the end of the season, then it’s money well spent.

“So, it’s going to be really interesting to see how this one goes.”

Ash Phillips & Alfie Devine deals wouldn't drastically improve Sheffield United's promotion chances

Sheffield United won’t need a lot of work this summer to bridge the gap from play-off finalists to promotion winners.

However, bringing in two inexperienced youngsters from Spurs won’t immediately improve the team either, so loan deals would be underwhelming.

If they could figure out a way to sign them permanently, it could be great long-term business, but it seems unlikely at this stage.

Sheffield United need to focus their efforts on improving the side right now, as that’s what’s needed after losing the play-off final to Sunderland - Phillips and Devine may not have enough quality required right now to be at the level that United need to be.

Burnley have entered the race to sign Tottenham Hotspur winger Manor Solomon.

That’s according to former Spurs and Manchester United scout Mick Brown, who has informed Football Insider about the interest from the Clarets.

Solomon spent last season on loan with Leeds United, where he impressed, prompting thoughts of a permanent deal following the Whites’ promotion.

But those ambitions will have taken a slight knock in discovering that one of their fellow promoted sides holds an interest.

Burnley interested in Manor Solomon

Brown revealed to Football Insider that both Burnley and Leeds are interested in the winger.

The same outlet revealed last month that Spurs, Solomon’s parent club, are looking to sell the winger following his successful loan spell.

TBR Football stated last month that the north London side are asking for £20m for the Israel international, but that came before this latest Burnley reveal.

With Leeds and Burnley potentially set to battle it out over Solomon, their race to the forward’s signature could end up pushing the price up.

Leeds have more than just Burnley to worry about

It would be challenging enough beat away Burnley’s interest heading into the new season, but Leeds are thought to have even more company than that.

French side Marseille are another club that have been linked with Solomon by Football Insider.

Playing in France’s top tier, against the likes of PSG, will have its own attractions, as will the fact that Les Olympiens can offer Champions League football thanks to their second-placed finish this term.

That’s an opportunity Leeds and Burnley simply cannot offer, but they do have a full Premier League season ahead of them, widely regarded as the most elite league in world football.

Solomon would be wise to opt for Leeds

Should the winger opt for anywhere other than Leeds, he will be back to a familiar fight for minutes that he has endured in the past at Spurs, once again forced to prove himself to another manager, and fit himself into a new system.

At Leeds, having provided 22 goal contributions to the Yorkshire side in the Championship last season, he has little left to prove to Daniel Farke, who knows exactly how he’ll use the player.

Minutes are never guaranteed, especially in the Premier League, but Solomon will have a lot more certainty under a manager that has already worked with him for a season, and so will know from the outset precisely why he wants the player at the club.

The allure of Champions League football will be a tough one to turn down, should it be offered, but Marseille only have eight guaranteed games in that competition, and Solomon will have no assurances he’ll play in any of them.

After two attempts, with Fulham and Spurs, Solomon still awaits his first full Premier League season as a weekly starter. Burnley can offer that, but engineering a move to Leeds could put him in the best possible spot.

Lee Hendrie has claimed that Birmingham City signing Tottenham Hotspur’s Mikey Moore is a deal with a lot of potential.

It was reported by Football Insider that the Blues are among the sides eyeing a deal for the talented youngster.

However, they face competition from West Brom, who have recently appointed ex-Spurs coach Ryan Mason as their newest manager.

Chris Davies is looking to strengthen his side this summer as Birmingham look to compete at the top end of the Championship straight away after gaining promotion last season.

Lee Hendrie makes Mikey Moore to Birmingham claim

Hendrie believes that the signing of Moore would be a real coup for Birmingham, if they could get it over the line.

He has claimed the Blues have a lot of potential for next season, which could help convince the player to sign for them instead of reuniting with his former coach at Spurs.

“A big coup for them, definitely, on a loan deal, for sure,” Hendrie exclusively told Football League World.

“I think he’s got bags of potential, there’s no doubt about that.

“Clubs are linked with him, the problem is I think Birmingham have been linked with so many players, for obvious reasons, with the backing they have at the football club.

“And obviously trying to go again [for another promotion].

“But, yes, you do feel that they’re going to be a club that surely he’s got to be looking at, taking the opportunity to go and have a loan move there.

“Because I think that they’ve got lots of potential, but obviously the links and the potential have all got to knit together, really.

“So, I think that would certainly make his mind up.”

Birmingham earned promotion with a record points tally of 111 on their way to clinching the League One title under Davies.

Moore signing would have a lot of potential for Birmingham

Winning the race to Moore’s signature would be an exciting move for Birmingham given the potential he’s shown for Spurs.

The 17-year-old has already earned 12 appearances in the Premier League, as well as five in the Europa League, which is impressive for someone of his age.

But now is a good opportunity for him to go down to the Championship and earn regular minutes in order to develop his game.

A move to Birmingham should be an enticing opportunity, especially with the ambition being shown by the Midlands outfit.
