The next Messi. The new Neymar. A Gareth Bale regen. That is just a few of the tags Tottenham fans have put on teenage sensation Mikey Moore.
The 17-year-old has been labelled a generational talent, with some going on to claim that he could become England’s greatest ever player. Not since John Bostock have Tottenham fans been as hyped for a player in their academy.
Moore’s performances at U18 and PL2 level have peaked the interest of many top clubs, with the likes of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Rangers keeping an eye on him. But it appears like Arsenal have stolen a march on their rivals.
According to Italian media outlet Pesce d’Aprile, Arsenal have agreed a contract with Moore’s representatives believed to be in the region of £142,025 a week.
2025/26 appearances | 2025/26 goals | 2025/26 assists | 2025/26 minutes | |
Premier League | 7 | 0 | 1 | 181 |
Europa League | 5 | 1 | 1 | 307 |
FA Cup | 2 | 0 | 0 | 114 |
EFL Cup | 2 | 0 | 0 | 30 |
Total | 16 | 1 | 2 | 632 |
Mikel Arteta reportedly sees Moore as cover to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli, with the youngster reportedly happy to play second fiddle to the pair and learn from two of the best wingers currently in world football.
The expectation at Arsenal is that if Moore continues to improve at his current rate, he will could a regular first team starter at the club in 2-3 years time.
New Arsenal Sporting Director Andrea Berta will now look to open talks with Tottenham and agree a transfer fee.
