Mikey Moore's Köln loan struggles spark Tottenham recall talk
Mikey Moore's loan spell away from Tottenham Hotspur is under the microscope, with his struggles to make an impact at Bundesliga side Köln leading to reports that a January return to north London could be on the cards.
TeamTalk reports, in an exclusive, that Tottenham are ready to consider terminating Moore's loan at Köln in the new year, with sources telling the outlet that the young winger has struggled to establish himself in Germany (TeamTalk). Spurs Web backs this up, saying Tottenham are keeping a close eye on Moore's performances and that Köln are said to be 'unimpressed' with how things have gone so far (Spurs Web).
Adding to the picture, Spurs Web also reports that Moore's Köln head coach has given him 'homework' to work on over the international break, describing the situation around the player as a 'complete mess' (Spurs Web). It paints a picture of a loan that has not gone to plan for the teenager, who left Tottenham in search of regular football.
Meanwhile, Football.London takes a slightly different angle, revisiting Moore's previous loan spell at Rangers last season rather than his current Köln move. The outlet reports that Moore has been reminiscing about his time in Scotland and has expressed a 'dream' wish regarding a return there, while also explaining the thinking behind his decision to leave for his current loan (Football.London).
Taken together, the reports suggest Tottenham fans should brace for uncertainty over Moore's immediate future. TeamTalk and Spurs Web are broadly aligned in suggesting his time at Köln has not worked out as hoped and that a recall in January is a real possibility, while Football.London's piece offers a reminder of how well-regarded Moore was during his loan at Rangers by comparison. For Spurs supporters keen to see the academy graduate progress, the hope will be that wherever he plays next, he gets back on track after a difficult few months in Germany.
