Borussia Dortmund have made a stunning move to sign Tottenham sensation Mikey Moore, sources have told Football Insider.
The 16-year-old forward is regarded as a “huge” talent by the Bundesliga giants and they have made him a “massive” offer to move to Germany.
Moore is unable to sign a professional contract with Spurs until he turns 17 on 11th August, which has provided a window for Dortmund to try and tempt him away from north London.
The England Under-17 international has been inundated with interest from elite clubs after impressing for the Premier League side’s youth teams and making his senior debut.
He is hugely regarded at Spurs, who see him as a future first-team star but they now face a battle to keep hold of him this summer.
Mikey Moore could leave Tottenham after Borussia Dortmund offer
Moore has spent the past eight years with Tottenham after joining the club’s academy in 2016
The London-born attacker starred for Spurs’ Under-18s side last season, scoring 14 goals and laying on eight assists in just 12 appearances in the Under-18 Premier League.
That incredible form saw Ange Postecoglou name Moore on the bench for the final five Premier League games of the season, where he made his professional debut in the 2-0 defeat against Manchester City.
The teenager hit the headlines again late last month when he scored four goals in four games for England at the Under-17 European Championships before his side were knocked out by Italy in the quarter-finals.
Moore’s rise into the Tottenham first-team picture and contract situation has seen multiple elite clubs show an interest in signing him before he turns 17 in August.
Dortmund have made Moore a “massive” offer to make the move to Germany as they look to snap up another promising young talent.
The winger is now set to weigh up whether to join the Bundesliga club or continue his development in north London.
