Rangers hold Tottenham talks over extending Mikey Moore loan stay
Rangers manager Danny Rohl has confirmed the club are in negotiations with Tottenham Hotspur to extend Mikey Moore’s stay at Ibrox following a standout performance against Aberdeen.
The 18-year-old forward delivered a man-of-the-match display during a comprehensive 4-1 Scottish Premiership victory on Saturday.
The Spurs loanee scored the second goal with a clinical finish before departing to a standing ovation late in the contest.
Speaking after the match, the German boss revealed ongoing dialogue aimed at securing the talented teenager’s long-term future in Glasgow.
Moore becomes vital component for title-chasing Rangers
The highly-rated winger has now registered six league goals this campaign, with three coming in his last seven starts.
His contributions have been instrumental in maintaining a lengthy unbeaten run for the Ibrox side.
They currently trail league leaders Hearts by just three points after remaining undefeated since a narrow loss in December.
Addressing the supporters’ desire to retain the English prospect, the Rangers manager acknowledged the strong mutual affection.
“I think conversations are always there, but we know when Mikey performed like this, you can see Mikey enjoys playing for Rangers,” Rohl said.
“The fans love him, I like him, he’s a key player.”
“I think there’s a lot of good things where we could go again together, but we know he’s still not our player, let’s work in the next couple of weeks in all those directions.”
Ibrox club identify summer targets
As the title race intensifies ahead of a clash with Dundee United, recruitment plans for next season are already accelerating.
Motherwell playmaker Elijah Just has emerged as a primary target following an impressive individual campaign.
The New Zealand international has recorded seven goals and seven assists across 28 league appearances under Jens Berthen Askou.
Securing the creative midfielder could prove challenging, with rivals Celtic also reportedly monitoring the 24-year-old whose contract runs until June 2027.
Meanwhile, Rohl has also demonstrated his ruthless streak by removing an unnamed senior player from the first-team squad for the remainder of the season.
