Spurs' Mikey Moore aiming for another European trophy with England Under-19s
Mikey Moore is excited to show new Tottenham boss Thomas Frank what he can do – but the teenager's immediate focus is ending an unforgettable breakthrough campaign with another European trophy. Having made his Spurs debut at the end of the last season, the highly-rated 17-year-old kicked on and showed glimpses of his outstanding potential during a topsy-turvy campaign in north London. Moore made 19 appearances in all competitions for his boyhood club, with five of those coming in a Europa League campaign that ended with Tottenham beating Manchester United to win a first trophy since 2008. The winger was on the bench in Bilbao and three weeks on has more continental glory in his sights as England kick-off their bid for Under-19 European Championship glory against Norway on Saturday. 'It was a top experience – some of the best times of my life on that Wednesday night,' Moore told the PA news agency. 'Hopefully going on to win another medal and another trophy with these boys here would be a brilliant feeling, and experience for everyone. 'There's some top players. We think we can go on and hopefully win the tournament. It's been a good little build-up but excited to get into the games now.' England have been preparing for their shot at Under-19s glory in Romania over the past week, when it was confirmed Brentford boss Frank would be succeeding Ange Postecoglou as Tottenham manager. 'With Ange, I'm thankful to him,' Moore said. 'He gave me an opportunity to go and show people what I could do. 'Now I'm just excited to get back and hopefully go and impress the new manager. Try and show what I can do, really. 'I started away at Brentford, where obviously he was in charge, and I've played against his team before. 'I've heard that he's a good man and he's a good manager. One of the boys here (with the Under-19s) works under him and says good things about him, so I'm just excited to get going under him, really.' Frank is sure to be an interested observer as Moore looks to help England win the Under-19 Euros for the third time. The 17-year-old could be one of the stars of the tournament judging by some of his Spurs displays, with team-mate James Maddison likening him to Neymar after October's Europa League win against AZ Alkmaar. Moore went on to become the youngest Englishman to score a major European goal, breaking a record held by Jimmy Greaves since 1957, with his superb goal against Elfsborg in January, but there have also been some difficult moments. 'When I look back on the season, when I go back to (last) pre-season I didn't ever expect to be in the position I was halfway through the season,' Moore said. 'But obviously it wasn't all great, it didn't all go to plan. I think there were certain parts in the season where I've not struggled, but had down moments. 'But when I look back on it it's been a massive learning year for me, and it's obviously come to an end now almost, and we came out successful. It's a season I will always look back on and be proud of.'

Following Ratcliffe's takeover at Prem rivals United last year it was confirmed that the company intended to pull out of the agreement. It was believed that a break deal in the multi-million pound agreement had been reached between the two parties. But now Spurs have instigated a High Court legal action against Ineos. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL BRY OH MY Tottenham hold initial Bryan Mbeumo talks with Brentford in major Man Utd blow As part of what is listed as a 'general commercial contracts and arrangements', Tottenham have lodged a claim against Ineos Automotive Limited, a subsidiary of Ineos. That suggests negotiations have failed to find an agreement, with the Tottenham claim lodged on June 12. Tottenham declined to comment while Ineos said in a statement: "INEOS Automotive has been a partner of Tottenham Hotspur since 2022, expanding on a partnership agreement that INEOS Group had in place with the club since 2020. "We have a contractual right to terminate our partnership contract and in December 2024 exercised that right."

Spurs appointed Thomas Frank as their new manager on Thursday, six days on from the departure of Ange Postecoglou. Liverpool's £100m Barcola bid / Gyokeres forces Man Utd move / Grealish City axe | Transfers Exposed The Lilywhites paid Brentford around £10million in compensation for the Dane. Frank's move took time to be completed due to negotiations over backroom staff - specifically highly-rated head of coaching Justin Cochrane. Man Utd considered the Brentford boss as a potential replacement for Erik ten Hag last summer. However, the Red Devils instead opted for Ruben Amorim in October.
