Mikey Moore stumbling block emerges at Rangers for Tottenham transfer repeat
Rangers could potentially find it difficult to convince Mikey Moore to return on loan from Tottenham in the summer.
Kilmarnock lost 5-1 at Ibrox in the William Hill Premiership on 4 February, and the Spurs loanee scored and assisted for the Gers.
Moore has emerged as a key player for Danny Rohl, and the Light Blues should undoubtedly already be looking at his return from the North London outfit once his loan deal expires.
The 18-year-old has taken the creative reins at the Glaswegian outfit in the current campaign, and could be on course to return down south with a medal around his neck.
Mikey Moore to fancy Tottenham chance after Rangers loan
Moore’s desire to make Tottenham’s team could hinder a return to the Gers on loan, Andy Newport says.
The Daily Record journalist believes the English youngster’s mentality is such that he’ll want to make a case for himself to start for Spurs soon.
While the Ibrox side will surely be delighted to welcome the winger back next season, it remains to be seen whether he has different ambitions.
Speaking on the Record Rangers Podcast on 5 February, Newport said, “I just think, given the type of mentality we’ve seen from him, he’ll fancy himself to go into that Spurs team. And I think that will be the main stumbling block for Rangers getting him back here.”
Tottenham didn’t have a callback option for Moore in January, and he’ll be pivotal for the Light Blues to close the gap with Hearts at the top of the table.
As things stand, the Govan side are three points behind the leaders in the William Hill Premiership, and that could soon change in the coming weeks as Rohl aims to win the title.
Danny Rohl already has Mikey Moore replacement at Ibrox
Andrew Cavenagh backed Rohl in the winter transfer window by signing Tochi Chukwuani, Tuur Rommens, Andreas Skov Olsen and Ryan Naderi.
Rangers have clearly strengthened their squad for the second half of the season and addressed key positions for the future.
Rommens looks like a long-term solution at left-back for the Light Blues, while Skov Olsen may be the marquee signing fans in G51 have been waiting for.
The Glaswegian outfit can permanently sign the Denmark international for £8.6million next summer, and if he does well until the end of the campaign, he could potentially be the main attacking threat for the foreseeable future.
