Rangers have completed the loan signing of Tottenham Hotspur's teenage forward Mikey Moore for the 2025/26 season. Moore, 17, is regarded as one of English football's most exciting prospects after making the breakthrough at senior level with Spurs last season under Ange Postecoglou. He made 19 first-team appearances for the north London side, but new head coach Thomas Frank believes a loan move will best suit his development and Rangers have won the race for his signature. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Moore is capable of playing all across the front line, but is expected to be used predominantly as a winger by Rangers head coach Russell Martin. The Ibrox club have been keen to reinforce in that area following the departure of Vaclav Cerny, a key wide man from last season. New Rangers loanee Mikey Moore celebrates scoring for Spurs against Elfsborg - his first senior goal. | Getty Images Rangers have been linked with Go Ahead Eagles winger Oliver Antman and Crystal Palace's Jerusun Rak-Sakyi in recent weeks. Moore becomes Rangers' eighth summer signing, following Max Aarons, Emmanuel Fernandez, Nasser Djiga, Joe Rothwell, Lyall Cameron, Thelo Aasgaard and Djeidi Gassama through the Ibrox door. Moore revealed that as soon as he heard of Rangers' interest, he wanted to join the club. 'I'm excited to get going,' he told the Rangers website. 'As soon as I heard Rangers were interested and wanted me to come, it was a massive opportunity for me. I'm excited to be here and hopefully I can show the fans and everyone what I can do. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Moore: I have always loved Rangers 'I've always loved Rangers as a club. My family have always loved them. I think with the new boss and the way that we play, it's a great place to be at the minute. It was a pretty easy decision for me to come here.' Speaking on the loan deal for Moore, Martin said: 'We are thrilled to bring Mikey on loan for this season. His profile as a brave, aggressive attacking player is one that we were keen to add to the squad, and he is certainly a player who, despite his age, can make an impact on the team from day one. 'He is a player with huge potential, and it is testament to his quality that he has been entrusted by Spurs in both the Premier League and UEFA Europa League with such regularity over the last 18 months.' Mikey Moore rubbed shoulders with Spurs first-teamers such as James Maddison last season. | Getty Images Rangers sporting director Kevin Thelwell added: 'It is no secret that there was significant interest from elsewhere in Mikey and we are delighted that he has chosen Rangers at this stage in his career.

'We are convinced that Mikey is a player who will enhance our attacking unit.

But long-serving Pope, 33, will start the Premier League campaign as first choice because Howe feels loyalty towards him. Ramsdale, 27, must wait for his chance and hope he can do enough to claim the regular keeper's spot. Newcastle had enquiries for Pope that they rejected, and will back that up by starting with the ten-cap England stopper in the side. Instead the Geordies plan to let a couple of other keepers go and let the main two scrap it out for the top job. Ramsdale opted for Newcastle to make sure he keeps another relegation off his CV, having suffered the drop with FOUR teams in his career. He went down during an early loan at Chesterfield and that was followed by heartbreak at Bournemouth, Sheffield United and Southampton last season. Ramsdale had several choices of club when he left the south coast — but his fear of the drop ended the chances of three clubs. The canny keeper refused to entertain Leeds, Burnley or Sunderland — who all showed signs of interest — because he did not want to join a promoted side.
