Tottenham signs 16-year-old winger wanted by Man Utd, Man City and Bayern

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.
