TEAMtalk sources say Tottenham Hotspur will consider ending Mikey Moore’s loan at Cologne in the January transfer window, a move that could free the 19-year-old winger to find another destination for the second half of the season. Rangers are not currently planning to bring him back on loan in January.
January decision
Both parties are understood to be willing to part ways when the winter window opens. Any January decision will hinge on his form between now and the window, as well as the availability of suitable clubs.
Moore’s Cologne spell
Moore joined Cologne in the summer seeking regular first-team football, but minutes and form have been hard to come by in Germany’s top flight.
TEAMtalk sources indicate that Cologne currently have no interest in making Moore’s temporary arrangement a permanent transfer next summer.
Rangers position
TEAMtalk sources say Rangers are not actively pursuing a return for Moore. Rangers completed a busy summer of recruitment and currently have no plans to bring him back on loan in January.
TEAMtalk reports that Moore retains a long-term affection for Rangers and hopes to return to Ibrox at some point in his career.
If the opportunity for a Rangers return arose, both Rangers and Moore would be forced to consider it.
Tottenham’s development pathway
Tottenham Hotspur’s priority remains ensuring Moore continues to progress.
Moore impressed in Tottenham Hotspur’s youth ranks and with the first-team squad at times, while his loan spell in Glasgow was described as brilliant.
Moore’s limited impact in Germany will force Tottenham Hotspur to reassess his development. Ending the Cologne loan early would give Tottenham Hotspur greater control over his next destination, whether that involves another temporary spell elsewhere or a return to north London.
