FC Köln have brought in Tottenham Hotspur attacking prospect Mikey Moore on loan through the end of June 2027.

The 19-year-old forward will move to Germany to gain regular playing time and continue developing before returning to Tottenham in London next summer. Köln announced the deal without disclosing further terms.

Sporting director Thomas Kessler praised Moore’s technical quality, creativity and confidence in one-on-one situations. He said the player’s pace and attacking freedom would give Köln more options in the final third.

He has high technical quality, is creative and brave in one-on-one situations, and his dynamism and fearlessness repeatedly create danger in attack.

— Thomas KesslerKöln’s sporting director explained what Moore will add to the team.

Moore has appeared in every competitive match for Tottenham this season, with the English club sitting at the bottom of its league. Last season, he played for Glasgow Rangers, scoring seven goals and setting up three more in 33 games. He has also gained international experience in Champions League qualifying and the Europa League as an England under-19 international.

Köln signed Moore to help cover the departure of Jakub Kaminski to Benfica Lisbon. The teenager could operate on the right wing alongside Said El Mala, giving opponents another attacking threat to consider beyond the club’s leading star.

With his profile, he expands our options in the final third and will give us additional variety.
