Tottenham's Mikey Moore Nears Season-Long Loan to Cologne

Published 3 August 2026

Tottenham Hotspur winger Mikey Moore is on the verge of a season-long loan move to Bundesliga side FC Cologne, with negotiations between the clubs at an advanced stage. The 18-year-old England youth international is reportedly open to the transfer, which could be finalized as soon as next week.

According to widespread reports, Cologne has submitted an official bid to Tottenham for the highly-rated prospect. While several clubs, including English Championship side Middlesbrough, have expressed interest, the German club is now considered the clear favorite to secure his signature. The move would see Moore test himself in one of Europe's top five leagues after spending the previous campaign on loan at Scottish club Rangers.

During his time at Rangers, Moore made a significant impact, appearing 47 times across all competitions and contributing seven goals and four assists. His performances earned him both the Rangers Men's Young Player of the Year and the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year awards. He has already made 21 senior appearances for Tottenham, having broken the club's record as the youngest player to feature in the Premier League in May 2024.
