The North London side gave the teenager a chance to impress after his display in the Europa League in midweek. While Moore was not at his very best, Postecoglou did see a few reasons to be optimistic about the future. He told reporters: Like I said it wasn't really a great game for anybody out there from our perspective.

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou believes promising teenager Mikey Moore is ready to start a Premier League game but vowed not to rush the winger's development.

Ange Postecoglou has praised Mikey Moore’s maturity but admitted it will be “pretty hard to keep a lid” on the Tottenham Hotspur winger’s talent after he was compared to Neymar by James Maddison. Moore became the youngest player to represent Tottenham in the Premier League in May when he came off the bench against Manchester City aged 16 but Postecoglou has been cautious with his playing time.
