Tottenham Hotspur are having huge problems with their attack this season, and aside from some glimpses from Mathys Tel and the spark of Savio in terms of his dribbling and creativity, Spurs really have nothing going for them right now. Nobody has established themselves as even a remotely threatening goal scorer, striker Dominic Solanke might be the worst in the league, Omar Marmoush is a massive bust right now, Mohammed Kudus has no end product, James Maddison is never healthy, and the bench is barely there.
Spurs are having to hope for three things to turn the attack around. They are hoping Luca Williams-Barnett is ready to be more than just the savior of the future, Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert can return to make a serious impact (especially the more talented Simons), and that they can potentially sign both a great striker like Eli Junior Kroupi or Victor Osimhen and a great No. 10 like Morgan Gibbs-White or Nico Paz. Spurs want to sign players who can decide games with goals and assists both this season and for the next five years.
Mikey Moore is not part of the equation
Notice how MIkey Moore is nowhere near the equation. He had a slow start before with Rangers on loan last season, and so there is hope that he can bounce back with FC Koln in his first top five European league test. But while Koln's issues go way beyond Moore and they are a terrible team, anyone can objectively see that Moore is not getting the job done himself.
It's not an isolated issue. Moore has talent, but the hype about him being the next Neymar was always ridiculous. While Moore scored clutch goals for Rangers, he was playing second rate opposition in a Scottish league that is becoming increasingly weak, to the point where it is a step below even the EFL Championship, which is why Spurs were actually contemplating a Championship loan as a step up for the youngster.
Instead, he jumped up to Koln despite a terrible preseason and a poor Matchday 1 performance against Brentford. Against Premier League or any top filght opposition, Moore looks out of his depth, and it seems like Tottenham Hotspur understand that. They have a more promising prospect in Luca Williams-Barnett, and with rumors linking them back to Gibbs-White and Paz, it appears Spurs understand that Moore is not a part of the future calculus. This loan to Konl is about getting him enough value to sell him somewhere else.
