The blueprint Rangers now have to follow to sign Mikey Moore from Tottenham
Rangers may have renewed hope of signing Mikey Moore from Tottenham this summer - but only if they are ready to reach into their pockets.
The Spurs youngster spent the 2025-26 season on loan with the Gers and formed a bond with supporters.
He notched seven goals and four assists in 47 appearances for the Ibrox club.
Ibrox News has constantly covered Rangers' attempts to resign Moore for the upcoming campaign.
It looked as though it was dead in the water, with Borussia Dortmund showing interest.
However, Derek McInnes' side could have been handed the blueprint on how to add him to their squad again after what the London club have done.
What are the Tottenham developments that give Rangers hope?
Moore's time with the Light Blues was so impressive because of his age, given he is just 18 years old.
Despite that fact, he handled the pressure and expectation that comes with playing for the Bears brilliantly.
Another Spurs youngster who was great in a similarly important situation was Will Lankshear, who has now completed a move to Middlesbrough.
He spent last season on loan with Oxford United, with his 11 league goals unable to stop them from being relegated.
The Teessiders have paid £10million upfront with a further £10m in add-ons, while the Premier league side have a 20 per cent sell-on clause and future matching rights.
Sky Sports' Michael Bridge claims that the Lilywhites "recognise deals like this are a core part of driving greater productivity from their academy".
The structure of the deal and the final part is what could help the Gers out.
How can Rangers seal Mikey Moore deal?
The Govan side would be unwilling to drop £20m on one player, but the way that the Championship side have structured it should present them with a workaround.
Perhaps more importantly, the idea that Roberto De Zerbi's side are willing to lose academy players gives the Gers a chance to try and bring Moore back.
It seems as though the top-flight club would agree to exits for their most promising talents if there are favourable conditions.
The 49ers Enterprises and Andrew Cavenagh, the majority owners in G51, may have to stump up a bit of cash upfront, then offer similar clauses to the Lankshear deal.
It makes their potential addition of the loan star much easier, although it will ultimately come down to Spurs' plans for him.
