# Tottenham: John Wenham raves about Mikey Moore

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) expert John Wenham has raved about ‘exciting’ young striker prospect Mikey Moore.**

### The Lowdown: Tottenham’s World Cup stars

Tottenham have some quality attacking options in their ranks who have recently been competing at the World Cup, with the likes of Richarlison scoring [three](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/richarlison/nationalmannschaft/spieler/378710) goals in the Qatar tournament before his side bowed out to Croatia on penalties on Friday night.

Harry Kane has also weighed in with [three](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-kane/nationalmannschaft/spieler/132098) assists and a goal en-route to England reaching the quarter-final stage, and it looks like Spurs could now have produced another player in his ilk…

### The Latest: Wenham’s comments

Speaking to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/expert-loves-what-hes-heard-about-mikey-moore-from-tottenham-sources-theyre-all-talking-about-him/), Wenham waxed lyrical about the 15-year-old starlet, who is already playing well above his age group, and performing well:

*“There has been a big deal about a player Man City have just signed from Sheffield United, a lot of teams wanted him,”*

*“I have spoken to a lot of people at Tottenham and people who know their stuff about youth football and they all say Mikey Moore is better than him.*

*“That’s how highly they rate this guy. Everyone I speak to claims he has what it takes to go to the very top level. Even players a couple of years older, they’re all talking about him.*

*“After I watch him this week I am sure I will have even more to say but this guy is so exciting.*

“*He is making a load of progress too as he is playing a few age groups higher than he was expected to this season.”*

### The Verdict: Future star

Wenham previously described the youngster as “[outstanding](https://www.footballinsider247.com/expert-in-awe-of-hugely-promising-15-year-old-tottenham-sensation-outstanding/)“, and for good reason, as he is already putting in displays way beyond his years in the U18 Premier League this season, registering [two](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mikey-moore/leistungsdaten/spieler/1011147) goals and three assists in seven outings.

Considering that the marksman is also doing this in a higher age group than he would be expected to play in at this early stage, the future is looking very bright at Hotspur Way, and Antonio Conte could have a real talent on his hands in the next few years, if he continues to show such promising signs.
