18-Year-Old Has Laid Out Conditions For Rangers Transfer: Should The Scottish Club Push Hard?

18-Year-Old Has Laid Out Conditions For Rangers Transfer: Should The Scottish Club Push Hard?

Rangers have received a clear message from Mikey Moore, who says his main goal for any future loan is guaranteed playing time rather than just chasing big-name clubs or higher leagues. The Tottenham Hotspur teenager, who joined Rangers last August on a season-long deal, spelt out his position in no uncertain terms. He explained that he wants to play as much as possible and refuses to rush into a move where he might end up stuck on the bench with very little game time.

Mikey Moore puts Rangers on notice ahead of summer decision

He added that he isn’t interested in jumping to a higher level too soon, because getting regular minutes matters much more to him right now than the status of the club he’s playing for. Moore said he wants to keep building on the progress he’s made this season and that wherever he ends up next, he and his team will think long and hard about the decision once summer arrives.

He said: “For me, I want to be playing where I’ll play as much football as possible. I want to keep playing games and know that every week I’ve got a chance of playing. So for me, wherever that’s going to be, I’m not going to rush into playing somewhere higher than what I can play, where I’m maybe going to sit on the bench and not get as many minutes. I want to keep building on what I’ve built this year, and wherever that is, we’ll decide in the summer.” (Via Daily Record)

That level-headed outlook shows real maturity for an 18-year-old whose stats speak for themselves: six goals, two assists, 1,828 minutes, and an average FotMob rating of 7.05 throughout the Scottish Premiership campaign, earning him a nomination for the PFA Scotland Men’s Young Player of the Year award. The winner will be announced on 3 May.
