Tottenham have signed teenage talent Mikey Moore in his first professional deal.

Spurs announced the winger had agreed professional terms the day after his 17th birthday, when he first became eligible.

Fifa rules limit clubs to a maximum three-year term for under-18 players, but it is believed Moore has been offered a financial package that reflects his status as one of the best players to emerge from the North London academy in recent seasons.

Moore broke the record to become the club’s youngest ever player when making his debut against Manchester City on 14 May, and his performance attracted significant interest from rivals.

Moore has since made another substitute appearance and played a substantial role during Ange Postecoglou’s pre-season fixtures, which included a tour in South Korea and Japan.

Postecogolou said last week: “It’s fair to say its incredible that he’s turning 17.

“We brought him into the first-team environment the back-end of last year. Every time he’s played for the under-18s or under-21s, he’s had an impact.

“For a very young guy, he adjusted really quickly [to the first team]. He’s come back pre-season and done really well in the games and in training. It’s great for this football club that he’s come through our academy and is already showing great promise.

“But he’s a young man. Our role is to have the best possible environment for him to be the best footballer he can be.”
