At just 19 years old, Mikey Moore is already making waves in the football world. The youngest player to ever don a Spurs jersey in the Premier League at 16, he’s now honing his skills on loan at Bundesliga side Cologne after a stint at Rangers.
In a recent chat, Moore opened up about his new adventure in Germany. Having two fellow English players, Reigan Heskey and Jahmai Simpson-Pusey, alongside him has made the transition smoother and more enjoyable.
Learning German has been a challenge, but he’s embracing it as part of his journey. The cultural shift has its hurdles, but the camaraderie with his English teammates has been a huge boost.
Moore is also finding time to explore the beautiful city of Cologne. From its iconic sights to the vibrant local culture, he’s soaking it all in while balancing football commitments.
He reflected on what drew him to the Bundesliga, citing the league's reputation for nurturing young talent. The difference in style between the Premier League and Bundesliga has been eye-opening, offering him a fresh perspective on the game.
Despite being miles away from Tottenham, Moore stays connected with the club. He’s determined to make the most of this loan spell, with dreams of returning to the Premier League stronger than ever.
The prospect of facing Harry Kane, his former teammate, is something he’s looking forward to. It’s a match-up that could become a reality, and the thought excites him.
Looking ahead, Moore has big aspirations. He’s focused on making a mark at Cologne and proving that young English players can thrive in the Bundesliga.
To wrap up the conversation, Euro Leagues hosts Julien Laurens and Rafa Honigstein joined the discussion, highlighting why the Bundesliga continues to attract young English talent and what’s in store for Moore this season.
