- FC Köln are considering a summer move for Tottenham Hotspur forward Mikey Moore, with the potential transfer contingent on the future of current Köln attacker Said El Mala. The Bundesliga club, led by sporting director Thomas Kessler, have recently focused on bringing young English talent to the RheinEnergie Stadion, having already secured permanent deals for Jahmai Simpson-Pusey and Reigan Heskey.
According to reports, Borussia Dortmund are also monitoring Moore’s situation, adding competition for his signature. Köln’s interest stems from uncertainty surrounding El Mala, with the club awaiting clarity on his plans before committing to a deal for the 19-year-old.
Moore enjoyed a productive loan spell with Scottish Premiership side Rangers last season, making 47 appearances across all competitions and scoring seven goals. His performances for Rangers showcased his potential and attracted attention from several clubs, including Tottenham themselves, who are currently only considering permanent offers.
Tottenham have been active in the transfer market this summer, reshaping their squad under Ange Postecoglou. Despite Moore’s promising development, the club appear open to allowing him to move on permanently if the right offer arrives. Rangers were initially considered frontrunners, but Köln’s emergence as a potential destination adds a new dimension to the transfer saga.
Moore is an England U19 international, further demonstrating his rising profile within the game. A move to Köln would offer Moore the opportunity to play regular first-team football in a major European league, continuing his development away from North London. Should he complete a transfer, Moore will likely compete for a starting position in Köln’s attacking lineup, potentially bolstering their options ahead of the new Bundesliga season.
