Gary Mabbutt feels teenager Mikey Moore has the potential to be a superstar for Tottenham Hotspur.
The North London club have quite a few young stars in their squad. While they added the likes of Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Wilson Odobert to their team during the summer, Will Lankshear, Jamie Donley, Alfie Devine and Mikey Moore are some exceptional talents to have come up the ranks at the club.
While all four have the potential to become important first-team players in the near future, Moore is the one everyone is excited about. At the age of just 17, he has already managed to make a few appearances for the first team. Given his abilities and huge potential, it won’t be a surprise if he soon becomes an important squad player under Ange Postecoglou.
Former Tottenham defender Gary Mabbutt believes Moore has the potential to be the next big star of the North London club.
While speaking on talkSPORT, the 63-year-old said: “We have got players coming through the ranks we haven’t had for a while. I think Harry Kane was our last superstar to come through. We have got young lads now, Will Lankshear, we have got Mikey Moore who is only just 17. He’s going to be a superstar in the future.”
While Moore hasn’t been promoted to the first team yet, he has featured in a total of four matches for the senior side and two of those appearances have come in the new season. The 17-year-old has exceptional abilities and if he manages to reach the expected levels, he could be the next big superstar to have come up the ranks after Harry Kane.
He has been constantly training with the first team where he has the opportunity to learn from skipper Son Heung-min who plays in a similar role. While Mabbutt is excited to see the number of young stars coming up the ranks from their academy, Moore is the one who excites him the most. He feels the teenager could be the next big thing.
