Tottenham Hotspur just got a major boost with young star Mikey Moore officially signing his first pro contract, right before turning 17 on Sunday.

The Athletic reports that this deal is a huge step in Moore’s career and shows Spurs are serious about developing their up-and-coming talents.

Moore has secured a three-year deal with Tottenham, the maximum allowed under FIFA regulations for players who are not yet 18.

This contract is notable not only for its length but also for the generous salary offered, which exceeds what Tottenham has traditionally provided to players of Moore’s age.

The teenager made headlines last season when he became the youngest player to debut for Tottenham in a Premier League match against Manchester City.

His impressive performance on the pitch and his potential have earned him considerable praise from the club's staff and fans alike.

The official announcement of Moore’s contract is expected to coincide with his birthday this Sunday. Once he turns 18, Tottenham will have the opportunity to extend his contract further, depending on how both parties feel about future negotiations.

Recent reports have revealed that several top European clubs, including Manchester United, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Dortmund, made attempts to lure Moore away from Tottenham this summer.

Despite these high-profile pursuits, Tottenham has managed to secure Moore’s commitment, highlighting the club's ability to retain its rising stars.

For Tottenham, securing this contract is a major win. Moore is recognized as one of the top young talents around, and getting him signed up like this really highlights the club's commitment to its future.

With Ange Postecoglou in charge, Moore's got a great opportunity to make a regular spot in the first team over the next year or so. The club’s investment in him shows they’re serious about building a strong squad for the long haul, and Moore’s potential could be a key part of that vision.
