Tottenham signed a professional contract with Mikey Moore, born in 2007, a year younger than Yang Min-hyuk, who was born in 2006.

Tottenham announced on its official SNS on the 12th (Korea Standard Time) that it was `happy to sign a first professional contract with Moore.' Moore has been linked with Tottenham since the under-9s. A talent discovered by Tottenham, he finally succeeded in signing a first-team contract and took his first step as a professional player.

Moore made his first-team debut in the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) match against Manchester City in May. He was 16 years old and 277 days old. He set the record for the youngest ever first-team appearance at Tottenham. At the time, Moore said, `I was really happy to learn from seniors like Son Heung-min.'

Moore went on an Asian tour with first-team players such as Son Heung-min ahead of the 2024-2025 season. In a friendly match against Vissel Kobe in Japan, he scored the winning goal and led his team to a 3-2 victory.

Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou also gave a thumbs up. He said "Moore was absolutely fantastic. The reason for his good performance in Tottenham's first team was that he was managing himself really well in training. This continued in the pre-season"We need to help Moore continue to improve. It's really impressive that you're a teenager now."

Moore celebrated his 17th birthday on the 11th. The professional contract was 'Birthday Gift'. Expectations are also high for England. Britain's 'Express' is recently 'Moore is one of the pre-season stars. It could have provided an idea for Postecoglou to join the 2024-2025 season.

In addition, citing a report by 'The Athletic'Moore will turn 17 on August 11. He decided to sign a professional contract with Tottenham for the first time. It is scheduled to sign a three-year contract. This is the longest contract that players under the age of 18 can sign under FIFA regulations. The length of the contract does not show a pure level of trust in Moore. Tottenham are said to have offered Moore a higher salary. Tottenham appear to have acknowledged his talent level'

Moore is also said to have received attention from Manchester City and Real Madrid. Yang Min-hyuk, who has been confirmed to join Tottenham, also knows Moore's existence.

Yang Min-hyuk tipped off Cho Hyun-woo and Lee Myung-jae to "He was born in 2007" when Moore was replaced in one of the Coupang Play Series between Team K League and Tottenham held at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 31st of last month. Lee Myung-jae asked 'Where are you from?' and "I think you're from Yousse."
