Moore, who was born in 2007, is the next generation of franchise stars that he has worked really hard to raise at Tottenham. From the beginning of this season Moore began training with his three-year-old brothers when he joined Tottenham's under-18 team at the age of 15. He competed with his three-year-old brothers, but Moore was different, too. He proved to be a different talent with a monster performance of 16 goals and 9 assists in 16 official games.
In response, Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou added Moore to the first team at the end of the season. As Tottenham suffered many injuries ahead of the English Premier League (EPL) league match against Manchester City, Moore was called in to train with the first-team players.
Moore is not at the level of competing in the first-team squad right now. Still, he wanted to experience Moore's first-team stage to suit the direction of the club, which has recently decided to actively develop young talents. Coach Postecoglou even made Moore's EPL debut when he showed good performance in the first-team training.
Moore, who was put in place of James Madison in the match against Manchester City, became the youngest player to make his EPL debut in Tottenham's history.
Moore, who has become the youngest Tottenham EPL player, said after the game "Maybe the best feeling I've ever experienced. As a young player who has hit the youth academy, it's natural that he wants to make his debut. I wanted to keep playing, so I asked the referee how long he had left as soon as he entered. I want to play more games," he said, expressing his feelings about becoming the youngest EPL player in Tottenham's history.

Moore also said it was good to see the level of the players. The sharper handling of the ball increases my level. It was good to learn from players like Son Heung-min and Madison. It was an incredible momentHe thanked superstars like Son Heung-min.
Moore, Son's junior, is actually a big fan of Son. Moore once became a hot topic for Tottenham fans because he scored a goal and copied Son Heung-min's signature ceremony, Click Ceremony. Even when Moore was called up to the England national team by age, he scored a goal and performed Son Heung-min's ceremony.
However, Moore could have parted ways with Tottenham after the 2023-2024 season. According to FIFA regulations, players under the age of 17 cannot sign professional contracts. With this in mind, many big clubs began luring Moore.

Borussia Dortmund, as well as Manchester City and Manchester United, have sent offers to Moore. Dortmund, who is good at raising prospects, is found to have given Moore a financially attractive offer. Despite offers from a club bigger than Tottenham, Moore chose to be loyal to Tottenham.
Football Insider said on the 23rd of last month (Korea time) 'Tottenham almost agreed to renew the contract with Moore, a teenage sensation. He is trying to tie Moore, who will turn 17 on the 11th of next month, to a professional contract. Tottenham are confident of signing Moore despite the interest of other clubs, saying Moore has chosen Tottenham.

Tottenham also did their best to protect Moore. The Athletic said 'Tottenham has offered Moore a bigger salary than ever before in recognition of Moore's talent, achievements and interest in him. Moore said he had agreed to a three-year contract, the longest period FIFA rules allow for players under the age of 18, and had prepared the best conditions for Tottenham to reach out to Moore. On the day Moore turns 17, Tottenham are expected to announce Moore's first professional contract.

Postecoglou said this pre-season "Moore has been fantastic since we brought him in. The reason why he performed well in the first team was that he was managing himself really well in training. It continued in the pre-season as well. We need to make sure Moore continues to improve. I'm really excited that I'm 16 now."
Moore primarily plays as a second - line centre and left winger. There is an overlapping position with Yang Min-hyuk, who will become a Tottenham player from January 2025. Although the two players are completely different styles, competition is inevitable to secure time to play.
