Rangers boss Russell Martin addresses Spurs attacker Mikey Moore loan move

Rangers head coach Russell Martin has described Spurs attacker Mikey Moore as “a really good player” as he hinted that he is keen to add the player to his squad.

The Ibrox club have been in talks with Tottenham Hotspur over a season-long loan deal for the teenager, and new Spurs boss Thomas Frank has said that he is looking to “find the right option” for Moore to continue his development.

That option could be a year at the Rangers, and Martin indicated that is the decision he is hoping for.

“I think I’ve said to you all the way along that, as soon as it’s done, you’ll be the first guys to know,” Martin told a media conference on Tuesday ahead of the Champions League qualifier against Panathinaikos.

“There are lots of players we like, lots that we’re linked to.

“He’s a really good player, and if at any point he becomes a Rangers player, we will let you know.”

Seven new faces have already arrived at Ibrox since the American takeover as Martin rebuilds the squad. With a month still left to go in the transfer window, the head coach said he still wants more to help his side challenge in Europe and for domestic silverware.

“I think we still have a few areas we need to strengthen and put a bit more depth in for sure,” he said. “I think some areas are more obvious than others, but I think we’re still looking to add to the squad.

“I keep saying that we will add to the squad,d but it has to be the right ones and definitely in the right areas.”

Moore has made 21 first-team appearances for the London club since making his debut at 16 in 2024, when he became the youngest ever player to play for Spurs in the English Premier League.

The attacker, who can play on either wing or through the middle, was part of the squad that won the Europa League last season, making five appearances in the competition and scoring his first senior goal against Swedish side Elfsborg.

He has represented England at under-15, under-16, under-17, and under-19 levels, scoring a total of 21 goals in 39 caps, including four in four games at the under-17 European championships in Greece last summer.
