While the headlines surrounding the Tottenham Hotspur boardroom continue to swirl with rumors of high-level sales and ownership shifts, a much more exciting story is unfolding on the pitch in Glasgow.
As Daniel Levy reportedly holds discussions regarding the future of ENIC’s stake in the club, the Lewis family might find that their most valuable asset is not a stadium or a brand, but a teenage sensation named Mikey Moore.
On a cold Wednesday night at Ibrox Stadium, Moore produced a performance for Rangers that was nothing short of “unplayable,” proving exactly why there is so much anticipation building back at Hotspur Way.
It hasn’t always been a smooth ride for the young Tottenham loanee in Scotland. When he first arrived at Rangers, he faced the typical hurdles of a young player trying to find his rhythm in a physically demanding league.
However, the last few months have seen a remarkable transformation in his confidence and influence. Much of this credit has been given to Danny Rohl, who took over the managerial reins from Russell Martin. Under Rohl’s guidance, Moore has blossomed in an attacking midfield role, winning over even his harshest critics with a series of dominant displays.
The match against Kilmarnock served as the perfect showcase for his rapid development. Rangers cruised to a 5-1 victory against a 10-man opposition, but it was Moore who acted as the primary catalyst for the destruction. He was a constant livewire, drifting between the lines and causing tactical headaches for the Kilmarnock defense from the first whistle to the last.
Moore’s impact was felt early in the match when he drove through the heart of the midfield with a burst of pace that left defenders trailing. He capped the run with a perfectly weighted through ball to Djeidi Gassama, which led to a penalty and the opening goal.
He wasn’t finished there, however. Later in the game, he showed his vision by setting up Andreas Skov Olsen for the team’s third goal. To cap off a perfect night, Moore found the back of the net himself in stoppage time. It was a goal that highlighted his technical composure; he started the move deep in the opposition half and finished it by calmly stroking the ball into the bottom corner with his left foot.
The timing of this “breakout” could not be better for Tottenham. As the club looks toward the 2026-27 season, there is a clear need for fresh energy and homegrown talent in the attacking ranks. Inside the halls of the Tottenham training ground, Moore has been a name of interest for several years, but his successful spell at Ibrox has turned potential into proof.
Reports from North London suggest that the 18-year-old has already been identified as a “strong candidate” to compete for the left-wing role in the senior Spurs squad next season.

This development presents a fascinating dynamic for the Lewis family and Daniel Levy. If ENIC is indeed considering a sale or a major shift in ownership, the emergence of elite youth talent like Moore adds significant value to the club’s sporting project.
Building a team around “Generation Z” stars is not just a romantic notion; it is a sustainable financial model that reduces the need for expensive, high-risk transfers in the market.
For the fans, the prospect of Moore returning to N17 to take up a regular starting spot is the kind of narrative that builds season ticket renewals. We have seen how the likes of Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka transformed the identities of their respective clubs by coming through the ranks, and Moore possesses that same “X-factor.” He plays with a fearlessness that is rare for someone his age, combined with a technical maturity that allows him to execute difficult passes under pressure.
As the final whistle blew at Ibrox, the Rangers faithful gave Moore a standing ovation, aware that they are likely witnessing the final months of a future superstar’s time in Scotland. If he continues on this current trajectory, he won’t just be a squad player for Tottenham; he will be a centerpiece.
While the boardroom discussions regarding sales and stakes will continue to dominate the financial pages, the real “gold” for Tottenham is currently wearing a blue shirt in Glasgow. Mikey Moore has shown he is ready for the big stage, and next season, the Premier League will likely find out why.
