Tottenham player names what league he wants to play in amid Rangers transfer rumours as Ibrox love bomb sent
Winger impressed during his loan spell at Ibrox last season
Former Rangers loanee Mikey Moore claims the English Premier League is where he wants to play his football despite rumours of an Ibrox return.
The Tottenham winger returned to North London in June after a successful loan campaign at Rangers last season, where he won the Scottish Premiership’s Young Player of the Year award. Since then, he’s been linked with a move back to Glasgow, after previous boss Danny Rohl said he’d do ‘everything’ in his power to re-sign him. The 18-year old is under contract at Spurs until 2030.
A lot changed for the Lilywhites over the course of last season as they went through four different managers and only avoided relegation by the skin of their teeth. However latest boss Roberto De Zerbi is spending big to get them back on track, having forked out around £243m already. Amid the squad overhaul, Moore’s future was deemed uncertain at his boyhood club, however the Englishman is prepared to put the hours in to show the new gaffer what he’s made of.

Rangers hopes of a Moore return dented
Moore came on as a substitute at half time in Spurs’ 1-0 friendly victory over MK Dons. He will now travel with his teammates to New Zealand for their pre-season tour. After the win, the winger outlined his ambitions to play in the Premier League. He told the club: “I’m buzzing to be back. It was good to get everyone out today.
“I think the boys did alright. It was good to get going again and be back in a Tottenham shirt. I think I've tried my best to come back in the best possible way I can to make a good account of myself. Now it's just about trying to show a good 45 minutes. Obviously, I’ll need try and get some minutes again going forward and I need to show what I can do.
“To compete in the Premier League - where I want to play football, you need to be physically right. You need to be as good as all the other boys in the league because it's such a physically demanding league. It's something I've had to work hard on over the summer but I'm feeling good in myself and need to show technically as well that I'm at a good level.”
Moore claims he’s come back from Ibrox a ‘better player’
The winger learned one or two things about physicality during his season in the Scottish Premiership, where he scored six and provided two assists over the course of the 2025/26 campaign. Moore only has fond memories of Ibrox and thinks his short term stint will stand him in good stead for the rest of his career. He continued: “Rangers is a huge club.
“I absolutely loved every second of my time there. I think I've come back a better player and a better person with the experiences I had. Now I need to try and bring that here because it's another massive club. Throughout the pre-season, whatever chance I get, I just want to show that I've come back a better player and physically a better person.”
