Tottenham wonderkid kept in Ange Postecoglou training sessions after impressing coaches

Tottenham youngster Mikey Moore has been involved across a full week of training with Ange Postecoglou's first team after impressing the coaches, football.london understands.

Only 16-years-old, Moore is highly regarded within the game and Spurs pulled off something of a coup last summer in getting the youngster to commit his future to the north London club, amid the attention of clubs across the Premier League and Europe, and sign a three-year deal which will take him into his first professional contract when he turns 17 in August.

Moore had played an integral part the previous season in Tottenham winning both the Premier League Cups at U18s and U17s level for Stuart Lewis' academy side.

The young attacker, who can play up front, on the wing or as an attacking midfielder, has had mixed fortunes since signing that deal. He has posted remarkable numbers of 16 goals and nine assists in 14 games for Tottenham's U18s. In the U18s Premier League, there was only one game so far this season that he did not score or assist a goal in when available and only two games he did not score in.

On top of that the creative youngster scored four goals and laid on two assists for England's U17s in their European Championship qualifiers.

However, all of that progress has been offset by two painful injuries during this campaign. The first was a fractured leg suffered while on international duty and then, after his return, an ankle ligament injury in match action with Lewis' young Spurs side. Those injuries came just when the talented teenager was expected to step up to play U21s football for Wayne Burnett's table-topping side.
