'I've been told': Alasdair Gold shares 'ridiculous' claim about what Mikey Moore has been doing in Tottenham training
This young talent is so impressive! ????
Tottenham Hotspur’s pre-season has provided a number of the club’s budding young talents to really show thier worth.
Ange Postecoglou has offered minutes to his promising academy prospects as he awaits further summer signings.
Tottenham are also waiting on the last of their international representatives to return from their delayed summer holidays.
The Lilywhites now have four friendlies under their belt and there have been some really impressive showings from the club’s academy players.
One player who has caught the eye, in particular, is 16-year-old winger Mikey Moore who has become the talk of the town around Spurs.
And journalist Alasdair Gold has now heard something which has really shocked him about the youngster behind the scenes in Spurs training.

What Mikey Moore has done to impress in Tottenham training
Towards the backend of last season, there were some strong suggestions that Moore should be rewarded for a stunning season with the U18s.
The 16-year-old returned 14 goals and eight assists in the U18 Premier League last season which saw him earn two senior appearances after training with the first team for weeks.
Even Ange Postecoglou has said how ‘excited’ of a talent Moore is proving to be.
Moore has provided Tottenham with three goal contributions in his four pre-season appearances as he really mixes it with the senior side.
According to Alasdair Gold, Moore has not only shown his quality on the pitch, but he has shown he is not scared to make himself heard amongst the senior group.
“That’s what i’ve been told about Mikey Moore. Mikey Moore is very vocal,” he said on the Gold and Guest Talk Tottenham podcast.
“Yeah, he’s only 16, Mikey, which is ridiculous, but he is only 16, apparently on the training and he is quite vocal.”
This comes after the suggestion that James Maddison was not looking to pass to youngster Jamie Donley during the recent victory on Wednesday.
Will Mikey Moore play for Tottenham this season?
Despite his sensational pre-season, it is still going to be a tough ask for Moore to earn minutes in the senior side purely down to the options Spurs have.
Has Moore shown he is capable of playing under Postecoglou? It has to be said, there still needs to be some caution shown over how Spurs handle Moore as he hasn’t really played in a competitive game for Spurs yet.
The Europa League feels like a great competition for Postecoglou to provide Moore with some minutes, but it does feel like it depends on how the window pans out over the coming weeks.
Tottenham are believed to be interested in Pedro Neto this summer and his potential signing would surely rule out any major involvement for Moore this season.
