Alasdair Gold reveals exciting update for Mikey Moore and Lankshear at Spurs
Football.London’s Alasdair Gold believes Mikey Moore and Will Lanskshear could get opportunities to impress in September, given the injuries and loss of form to Tottenham’s attackers.
Postecoglou to hand chances to Moore and Lankshear
Gold says that while Ange Postecoglou was always planning on handing minutes to the two academy players, the struggles of others ‘could accelerate their chances’, particularly given that Spurs begin their Carabao Cup and Europa League campaigns soon.
The journalist states that Spurs turned down loan approaches from several clubs for Lankshear this summer, with the 19-year-old considered one of the best finishers at Hotspur Way.
He also points out that the teenager picked up an injury while featuring for the Under-21s against Bristol Rovers last week but is expected to be back within the next fortnight.
Mikey Moore and Will Lankshear
Moore, who signed his first professional contract with Spurs last month, is also said to be rated very highly by Postecoglou and his coaching staff.
The Football.London reporter asserts that the 17-year-old might be looking to jump in front of Timo Werner in the pecking order after the German’s lacklustre cameos off the bench against Leicester City and Newcastle United.
Mikey Moore and Will Lankshear are both regularly training with the first-team these days so will have chances to impress Postecoglou at Hotspur Way over the coming weeks.

Ange might hesitate to rotate his squad too much for the Carabao Cup third-round fixture after being knocked out of the competition by Fulham in the early stages last season.
We might have to wait until the Europa League kicks off to see glimpses of Moore and Lankshear.
