Rangers Close In On Mikey Moore Loan Deal From Tottenham

Rangers are close to finalizing a loan deal for Tottenham Hotspur’s young forward Mikey Moore. The deal is set to last until June 2026, with Rangers covering Moore’s salary, and there won’t be an option to buy.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Rangers and Tottenham have been in talks over the past 48 hours about Moore‘s temporary move to Ibrox. Initially, Tottenham had concerns about whether Rangers would provide the right environment for Moore’s development. However, Rangers officials worked hard to convince the London club, emphasizing the playing opportunities and the chance for European football. Both clubs are now optimistic that all the details will be finalized this week, with Tottenham expected to give the go-ahead soon. Moore is keen to join the Rangers project and is regarded as one of England’s most promising young forwards.

RANGERS’ NEW ERA AND MOORE’S PROSPECTS

This potential signing comes as Rangers begin a new era under manager Russell Martin, who is looking to bolster his attacking options. Last season, Moore made 19 appearances for Tottenham, scoring 1 goal and providing 2 assists in 812 minutes of play. His performances at both club and England youth level have drawn praise, with former Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou being a notable admirer. Rangers hope Moore will add creativity and attacking depth as they prepare for a busy domestic and European campaign. Currently, Rangers are seeking to challenge at the top of the Scottish Premiership, sitting two points behind city rivals Celtic after the opening fixtures of the new season.

LOOKING AHEAD: FIXTURES AND FUTURE IMPLICATIONS

If the deal is confirmed, Moore could make his debut in Rangers’ upcoming Scottish Premiership matches, starting with a crucial home fixture against third-placed Hearts next. Rangers currently trail Celtic by two points, while Hearts are level with them in the standings, making these games vital for establishing early-season momentum. Moore’s addition could provide a new attacking option as Rangers aim to surpass Celtic and secure Champions League qualification. For Tottenham, the loan offers a valuable development opportunity for one of their brightest young talents as they continue to reshape their squad following a sixth-place Premier League finish last season in the previous season.
