Mikey Moore might actually be the heir to James Maddison

Hotspur HQ's Joe Soriano argues that Tottenham Hotspur loanee Mikey Moore could develop into the long-term successor to attacking midfielder James Maddison. Currently on loan at Bundesliga side FC Koln, the 19-year-old has broken into the starting lineup in a central playmaker role rather than out wide, producing positive attacking returns including back-to-back games with three completed dribbles.

Soriano notes that Tottenham have struggled for creativity in the No. 10 position with Maddison, Xavi Simons, and Wilson Odobert sidelined with torn ACLs. While previously viewed primarily as a winger, Moore possesses the close-control dribbling and tight-space playmaking skills that the writer believes make him better suited centrally as a future alternative in Spurs' attack.
