Spurs' Mikey Moore aiming for another European trophy with England Under-19s
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. Mikey Moore celebrates after Tottenham won the Europa League final (Nick Potts/PA) 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.' Mikey Moore could be one of the stars of this summer's Under-19 Euros (Nick Potts/PA) 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. 1️⃣ Mikey Moore – 17y 172d2️⃣ Jimmy Greaves – 17y 245d Mikey is now the youngest English goalscorer in major European competition history 🤯 — Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) January 30, 2025 '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.

Tottenham starlet Mikey Moore, 17, joins in with 'we hate Arsenal' chants at a pub after being too young to join team-mates for wild Europa League celebrations
Tottenham youngster Mikey Moore was spotted joining in with 'we hate Arsenal ' chants at a pub two days on from the club's sensational Europa League triumph. Spurs won their first trophy in 17 years after beating Manchester United 1-0 in Wednesday's final and returned victorious to the UK to celebrate with supporters. An open-top bus parade was thrown on Friday and the squad then headed to Mayfair to continue the wild party - although teenager Moore, 17, was forced to miss out. With the forward too young to hit the tiles with the rest of the first-team, Moore instead headed to a watering hole in Broxbourne to revel in their success. Making a surprise appearance at The Bull, Moore toasted Spurs' tense victory with other supporters, who whipped out their phones to capture the scenes. Moore donned a pair of sunglasses and appeared to be wearing his Europa League final shirt, judging from the embroidered fixture details on the front. Mikey Moore was at the Bull in Broxbourne last night, since he's under 18 and couldn't join the celebrations in Mayfair with the rest of the team — Tottenham Tours (@TottenhamTours) May 24, 2025 Tottenham youngster Mikey Moore partied with supporters at a pub on Friday night The starlet joined in full voice with the 'we hate Arsenal' song and was also serenaded in a heartwarming moment by a 'he's one of our own' chant. Footage of the revelry was shared across X on Saturday morning and supporters were delighted, hailing him as 'the future' and saying 'the boy's become a man'. Moore became the youngest Spurs player to feature in the Premier League after being given his debut in a 2-0 defeat by Manchester City last May - and he has enjoyed a memorable breakthrough campaign under Ange Postecoglou. A product of the club's esteemed academy system, Moore has made 10 top-flight appearances this term and five in the Europa League, scoring one goal. He has also been capped by England up to Under-19 level. Boss Postecoglou admitted he had tried to ease Moore into the rigours of first-team football before being forced to rely on him after a spate of injuries. 'We've exposed Mikey a hell of a lot more than I thought we would at the start of the year,' said Postecoglou, via 'He only just started playing Under-21 football last year and he had some injuries, didn't play a lot. It was kind of touch-and-go at the start of the year, do we let him bed in with the 21s or give him a loan or keep him with us? 'But my thing was to let him train for a year, train with men, train in the first team environment and see how he adapts. 'At the end of that, he'll still be 17 or 18 and we can make decisions. 'But he's played a lot more than we thought. He's very much a part of our set-up in the first-team and he's training every day.'

Pedro Porro set for key Tottenham role in Europa League final after Dejan Kulusevski injury nightmare
Wilson Odobert and Mikey Moore have both played as No10s in the past (although Postecoglou played down the Frenchman's chances of starting in a central role, saying his deployment there for the last half-hour against Palace was a case of "needs must") while the return to fitness of Richarlison and captain Heung-min Son has raised the possibility of using either in a front two with Dominic Solanke.
