Tim Sherwood: Spurs Could Have Used Mikey Moore in Relegation Fight

Former Tottenham interim boss Tim Sherwood believes Spurs may have missed a trick by allowing academy winger Mikey Moore to leave on loan this season.

With the club short of natural wingers during their relegation battle, Moore has been impressing at Rangers F.C. after overcoming a slow start to life at Ibrox. The 18-year-old is now delivering consistent performances, showing exactly why he is so highly rated back at Hotspur Way.

Sherwood, speaking on Sky Sports News, admitted he believes Moore could already be contributing in North London.
“Tell me more about Moore, a lad I keep a close eye on because he’s on loan from Tottenham.

I believe he should be at Tottenham now, as an opportunity to give him some game time. People would argue with the fact that we are in a relegation battle, but I don’t think he would let you down more than any of the signings they have made.”

Rangers podcaster Martyn Ramsay responded with glowing praise for the teenager’s mentality and rapid development.
“He has grown a lot in the last few months. He is fearless. I don’t want to see him disappear at the end of the season, but I can well understand if Spurs want him back because he is not daunted by any situation.”

“He wants the ball, wants to try things. If it doesn’t come off, that does not get his head down. Quite often, fans have actually said, ‘bring him off, he has done nothing’, and then he does, cos he just has that kind of self-confidence.”

Moore’s confidence, fearlessness, and ability to demand the ball under pressure have clearly caught attention. With Spurs struggling for attacking spark, many fans will now wonder: should he have stayed?
