Tottenham Hotspur have a serious attacking problem these days, and they didn't make it any better in the January transfer window. Spurs watched as Antoine Semenyo rejected them for Manchester City, and as the Man City wingers who could have joined them were also uninterested in latching themselves onto what appears to be a sinking ship under the dual leadership of Thomas Frank and Johan Lange.
Spurs have two gems in Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert, a budding superstar in Mohammed Kudus, and a seemingly resurgent Dominic Solanke now that he is healthy. But they have little else outside of them, no proven goal scorers, and very little depth in the front line.
They do, however, have a third gem currently out on loan with Rangers, Mikey Moore, who was one of the stories of the early part of the 2024/25 season, including shining off the bench in the Europa League.
Mikey Moore had his breakout game
Moore earned the opportunity to start regularly for Rangers, and after a managerial change, he has finally proven himself useful to one of the giants of Scottish football. And just this past Wednesday against Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership, Moore had arguably his best game to date with his new team as part of a 5-1 win.
It was a grand all around attacking performance from Mikey Moore, who turned in a true winger's display from every angle. The Rangers faithful were even chanting the young loanee's name at the end of the game, which is rare sight but was 100 percent deserved based on how unplayable he was for the Kilmarnock defense.
Moore had both a goal and an assist for the Rangers for the first time this season, having not assisted in a Scottish Premier League game since October. Better yet, the 18 year old future superstar racked up five key passes and four dribbles completed in the game, setting a season high for key passes and tying his recently made season high in dribbles completed.
To this point of the 2025/26 season, Moore had not been especially impressive for Rangers despite some flashes of his star quality, but this was a game in which Moore truly put it all together and dominated. He will need to do this more often and against bigger opponents than Kilmarnock, and that is a big reason why Tottenham supporters want to see the teenager getting a bigger loan next season before he moves to Spurs. But this great game was his biggest statement to Tottenham thus far of what he can be and his potential to be part of the solution on the wings.
