Spurs legend Glenn Hoddle reveals why he is a fan of Mikey Moore

Glenn Hoddle has provided one reason why he is particularly excited by Mikey Moore after the 17-year-old made his Tottenham Hotspur debut this week.

Moore’s dazzling debut

Moore was the best player on the pitch in his full Tottenham debut against Ferencvaros, playing a key hand in the away side’s first goal as they emerged from Hungary with a 2-1 win.

Spurs fans were thrilled to see the 17-year-old live up to his billing, given the hype that has been around him for the past year.

Ange Postecoglou labelled the teenager’s performance as ‘outstanding’, claiming that he was not surprised by how the youngster handled the occasion (Football.London).

Hoddle, who knows a thing or two about what it takes to make it as an attacker at Tottenham, was left impressed by what he saw from Moore on the night.

The former Spurs boss remarked that he liked the confidence with which the youngster took on players at every opportunity.

Speaking after Tottenham’s 2-1 win, Hoddle told TNT Sports (as relayed by BBC Sport): “I like the way Mikey Moore likes to take people on, he looks you in the eye and says ‘I’m going to run at you’.”

Forced himself into the starting eleven?

On the back of Moore’s display on Thursday, the Spurs academy graduate has certainly given Postecoglou a big selection headache before the Brighton game.

With Heung-min Son still out injured, the Tottenham head coach could be tempted to hand the youngster a start on the left over Timo Werner, particularly given the German’s struggles in front of goal.
