De Zerbi warns Rangers: re‑sign Mikey Moore before wing crisis

Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi says Rangers should consider bringing back 18‑year‑old England youth international Mikey Moore to Ibrox after his loan spell, as the club reshapes its squad ahead of the current closing stages of the transfer window.

De Zerbi Shares his View, “We have to analyse the last part of the transfer market, because we try to bring wingers, and then we speak with him, with his agent, with the club, to find the best solution for everyone.” He made the comments while discussing the final phase of the window.

Mikey Moore featured 47 times for Rangers last season, scoring seven goals and providing four assists across all competitions. Primarily a left‑winger, he also operated on the right, as a number 10 and occasionally as a false 9, but he prefers the inverted Wide Attacker role on his stronger left flank.

The 18‑year‑old became Tottenham’s youngest‑ever Premier League player when he debuted in May 2024 and added 19 appearances during the 2024‑25 campaign, which Tottenham conquered the Europa League under Ange Postecoglou. He was loaned to Rangers last summer to gain regular minutes before securing a first‑team role in North London.

Rangers, often called the Gers, have already added seven new names this summer, yet only Lawrence Shankland arrives as a direct attacking reinforcement. The squad still lacks depth on the wings after Andreas Skov Olsen’s return to Wolfsburg, leaving Oliver Antman, Nedim Bajrami and Findlay Curtis as sporadic options.

Potential alternatives such as Brighton’s Amario Cozier‑Duberry are being monitored, but he is a right‑flank specialist, leaving the left side thin. The club’s limited wing options heighten the need for a proven Wide Attacker familiar with Ibrox.

Re‑signing Moore would restore balance to the front line, complement Curtis’s expected growth after his loan at Kilmarnock and inject the flair the Gers require. De Zerbi hinted that the summer arrivals could see Moore drop further down the pecking order, suggesting his exit may be pursued later this window if a suitable solution is not found.
